A decade ago, Bradley Krae left the United States to teach English in Shenzhen, China. He spends less money and says the has found his own version of the American Dream there.
Yeah I will never get over how people will just lie to throw shade at people and things they don’t like. America pisses me off constantly, I’m from there and I have a lot of rage for it. But lying about how the country’s drinking water isn’t safe to drink in general is a weird thing to do and it’s misinformation which is just gross.
it’s the chlorination. makes it smell foul and impossible to swallow, at least for me. last time i had to buy one of one of those bottles with a built-in filter, because otherwise i would just instinctually not drink water.
i wasn’t the one making the claim, but for me it is undrinkable. when i say “impossible to swallow”, i mean literally. i have an allergic reaction to chlorine, and there’s enough in us tap water to make my throat swell shut.
So long as you want to drink from lead pipes. That’s safe, right? Obama drank from the water in Flint and said it was fine so I guess Americans are immune to lead poisoning.
That’s not true everywhere and besides that’s moving the goalposts. OP was claiming the water was clearly so nasty you could tell by taste and smell which would not be related to lead pipes in any way. America has more problems with drinking water than it should by far but it’s actually just a lie to pretend it can be considered unsafe to drink as a blanket statement.
The water in the US is drinkable almost everywhere. Only very small outliers would exist. So you don’t inspire confidence with your take there.
It is insane you’re getting downvoted like wtf do you mean US doesn’t have drinkable tap water?

Theres more issues with American drinking water than most want to think.
Lead contamination is wide spread.
Theres also many places where drinking water is contaminated with PFAS https://www.ewg.org/interactive-maps/pfas_contamination/
Americas tap water is not as clean or as reliable as one would hope it to be, and it would be a fair concern to want to avoid drinking it.
Which is a very different position than america does not have drinkable tap water
I mean sure, Its drinkable… anythings drinkable once. Its what happens after thats the danger and concern.
Buddy fuck off
That kind of unfounded, unnecessary aggression is why we need to address the lead issue in the water.
“Here’s a link that proves your wrong”
“Fuck off, I don’t need facts, I wanna be wrong.”
Americans in a nut shell. No wonder Trump got elected.
Ok
Don’t feel bad. This Idiot is in another thread spreading conspiracy nonsense so it’s a pattern

Then say the water tastes bad. Don’t spread misinformation that the US doesn’t have drinkable tap water.

So Obama drinking form lead pipes and saying it’s safe is good? Or do you believe he was wrong?
I believe you’re a fucking idiot for thinking conspiracy theories are unquestionable and that outliers existing changes reality.
You’re now blocked so rage on however you like
