US’ poorest suffer from blood-sucking parasite because they can’t afford septic tank

Hookworm, a disease thought only to affect the developing world, is thriving in some parts of the rural US. And if you think racism has something to do with it, you’re right… @RaniaKhalek

Isn’t it the government’s job to build infrastructure for its citizens?

Yes, it is. It’s one if the most basic functions of government. When you live in a place as anti government, anti taxes, anti regulation as Alabama, this is what happens. It’s also one of the most impoverished states in the Union.

I MADE SEPITC MYSELF. IN MY SOCIALISTIC COUNTRY COST ME 2 000 DOLLARS. SOCIALISAM IS THE BEST FOR ORIDINARY PEOPLE. NOT RICH NOT POOR. PROBLEM IS SOLVED.

Composting toilets are less than 1000.00 average cost 550.00. Pissing and shitting in water has never been a great idea. We need to make a lot of environmental changes to how we deal with human waste. That situation is horrific. But hey we need that wall.

You dont see the problem morons this people dont have enough money to have deasent sanitary. American poor people who lives is travel homes. Dont have real home. In socialisam all have jobs, free medicine,hospitals,build homes,good salaries all be equal no rich no poor.

That lady at 7:40 is ignorant and corrupt asf.

She really reminded me of this article
