To some people here (actually a lot) every issue boils down to politics and welfare....

So you are not going to say it and keep us guessing?
As far as I can tell, most of these places are majority minority cities that have been ruled by the Democratic party for many many decades, since around World War 2 at least. All of them have African-American administrations, city councils and mayors, and are practically one-party municipalities with no credible opposition. I don't see any other commonalities. Jackson in particular is some kind of father-son hereditary socialist/Black nationalist little fiefdom.

All of the places mentioned aren't even in cities though or in Democratic areas/states. Ironically, the place I mentioned was a more of a self help, rural community and I believe the TX community is similar. Again, this isn't always just about party affiliation...

Ok then, help me out here. What is the other common factor between Flint, Jackson, and the tiny rural communities you mentioned, besides the factors I already mentioned?

Yes, the lack of response is crazy, but may not be as surprising as people may think it is and just to correct something that was assumed, but Flint's mayor at the time of its water crisis was not black.

Anyway, though I thought this would be a way to learn something new and a connection to this specific situation, this is an article about the town I mentioned: https://www.kalw.org/show/crosscurre...refuses-to-die
