Why You Should Be Angry About the Flint Water Crisis | Graham Elwood In this video, Graham Elwood examines a Truthdig report by Emily Wells highlighting the ongoing Flint water crisis while corporate giant Nestle pumps massive amounts of free Michigan groundwater nearby for profit. Graham exposes how Flint residents are still burdened with exorbitant water bills and contaminated pipes three years after the disaster began. He connects this corporate exploitation to the broader theme of government neglect under the corporate state. ============================================================ ▶️ Subscribe: https://www.youtube.com/@GrahamElwoodOfficial?sub_confirmation=1 ============================================================ 🧊 See the Full Uncensored Investigation Here: Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/grahamelwood Rokfin: https://rokfin.com/grahamelwood 📺 New Comedy Special "Manifest It" on Apple TV: https://tv.apple.com/us/movie/graham-elwood-manifest-it/umc.cmc.65wuzkrazdqspd2pu240x5chp 🤝 Support the Channel (We are demonetized!): 💳 Donate: https://www.grahamelwood.com/#support 💸 Venmo: https://venmo.com/graham-elwood 👑 Join YouTube Members: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCX1rle36wIlP9ry8uidnCsA/join 👕 Merch: https://www.grahamelwood.com/shop/ 🪙 Crypto Support & Affiliates: 🟠 BTC: qzx00qv3cz8xur9ujyewgda3hnc03perpqp2rz7043 🔑 BTC (Alt): 3BWaUfZ3M57KaoWVpxpbKmMEyy9Ybw8vQV 🔷 ETH: 0xD970059f6c57B4f707E778Ba19d6586039b0BD0F 🦢 SwanBitcoin: SwanBitcoin.com/grahamelwood (We both get $10.) 💳 Crypto.com: https://referral.crypto.com/signup?_branch_match_id=766078563177305504 (We both get $25.) ============================================================ 📱 Connect & Listen: 🌐 Website: http://www.grahamelwood.com 📘 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/GrahamElwoodComedy/ 📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/grahamelwood 🐦 X/Twitter: https://x.com/grahamelwood 🎤 Live Tour Tickets: www.grahamelwood.com 🎧 Podcast: www.grahamelwood.com/#podcasts ============================================================ 📚 Sources & Further Reading: 1.
