(NATIONAL FILE) – Social media users have begun to suggest the Jackson, Mississippi water crisis was merely a manufactured crisis.
At a press conference last week, Jackson Mayor Chokwe Antar Lumumba told reporters it could cost up to $1 billion to fix the “indefinite” water issue. However, following President Joe Biden’s emergency declaration, the Army Corps of Engineers and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) arrived on the scene, and within 24 hours, the city’s water crisis was fixed.
The EPA and Army Corps showed up and fixed the “issue” quickly and easily. Social media users have begun to speculate why Mary D. Carter, the Deputy Director of Water Operations for the past 8 years, could not fix the “problem” herself.
