It's hilarious

ryde posted:Aren't Flint's water lead levels below the legal threshold now? There's still a bunch of people with lead and galvanized pipes that need to be replaced though. Not Really. What happened to kick this all off was Flint (by a emergency manager acting as Mayor/Dictator under edict of the shithead governor) pulled the city off water supplied by Detroit Public Works. DPW was treating the water with corrosion inhibitors because they know lead pipes exist and this keeps the lead from dissolving out in to drinking water. The move was an attempt to further bankrupt Detroit by saddling them with more unfunded infrastructure so they fired up the defunct Flint River pumping station to provide municipal water despite the fact that the water is garbage and corrosive and then further decided to save $500/day by not treating it with the appropriate chemicals. This was a stop-gap for a few years until a new regional water authority spun up which would be pumping from Lake Huron. This water was corrosive which immediately stripped the protective film from the inside of the pipes causing lead to start leeching along with other metals. The lines are all old as hell and mostly metal instead of PVC so the added stress of increased corrosion started causing water lines to fail at an absurd rate which increases tap contamination. Now they're constantly digging up lines and replacing them and every single time they do this the lead levels in the area surge because the poo poo in the lines has been disturbed and get flushed down to the taps. The whole place is going to be hosed for decades and people can't leave because they can't sell houses with lead contamination. Every major city is dealing with lead issues as they replace aging lines but Flint got the turbofucked version of this problem.

Jonah Galtberg posted:i'm not sure that medicare is as bloated as you say it is, and one of the most basic principles of any universal health care system is that they inherently bring costs down by reducing the power of medical companies and service providers to set whatever insane prices they want. getting most of the populace out of the fragmented private insurance system and consolidated into one government scheme would achieve pretty significant cost reductions on its own it already has lower costs and better outcomes with a higher risk pool. m4a would be a good first step but shaggar is at least correct that more overhaul would be needed though he's downplaying the scale of the issue with the current system and the amount of improvement even that first m4a step would bring

Truga posted:expected usable life on good car batteries is ~10 years, they're supposed to retain at least 80% capacity that long. The point its that the actuaries that calculate warranty periods are intentionally trying to push that number as big as possible before the failure rate spikes and start costing them a fortune, so look at the warranty duration and add maybe a year or two on that for for "standard use" (10k miles/yr I think?)

mewse posted:I just bought a bike+battery this year, it's conventional lead acid, bringing it inside and putting it on a trickle charger for the winter should keep it alive right? yes but also the self-discharge rate on lead-acid is slow enough that you really only need the trickle charge to reverse sulfication. You're safe to put it in storage at a full charge and leave it over winter in a climate controlled area.
