They didn't do Nepal or Syria. We need to do Michigan? A state in one of the richest countries of the world? Okay then.
Just no. They are getting plenty of help. But if you choose to donate there are plenty of places to do it online. You don't need a shiny new PIMD badge in order to donate
I live close to Flint Michigan. Send me all the donations and I'll deliver them personally so PIMD can be represented. Send to PO Box 343 Notascam, MI. 80808
Something with the water I believe. They were trying to cut down on costs and take water from Flint River instead of Lake Huron. They used water contaminated with iron as the Flint River has more than 5x the acceptable iron amount and much more than Lake Huron did ofc. Humans shouldn't have iron in their bodies so now they have iron poisoning or what not. It's an irreversible thing since it's hard to break bonds between iron and cells (I think??) anywho yeah it's hard to cure I believe Disclaimer: I could be wrong ?
I think also the river water was known to be polluted, and had some kind of corrosive in it (that would've cost the State $100 a day to remove) and this corrosive damaged the city water pipes, contaminating it with lead .. I saw somewhere there was some bacteria as well measured.. State officials sat on this for almost a year and did nothing, telling ppl it was safe to drink :? Now the pipes need to be replaced :?
I find this offensive. Are we not allowed to help our own country? Why should we help some garbage places around the world where their own government doesn't care? Only time to help them is if they have oil.
I don't see why PimD gives an award for being a donator at all, to be honest. :? You shouldn't need an award to be a Good Samaritan.
It's not about the award. I just wanna know why donating to some third world country takes priority to helping our own Nation. ?
Even if they're a state located in one of the richest countries of the world, how does it make them any less deserving of assistance? Or do we play favorites when it comes to livelihoods of people? Could have swore discrimination was discouraged against. I think this highly depends on where you live. ATA is Canadian, for starters, MI is in the US. Besides, being neighbors, there's nothing relating the two. It's not ATA's nation, even if it may be yours. All in all, if you want to donate, do like Slushy said: go online and donate. Who gives a damn about an award the Apes make, though.
