The reason for the Gulf oil spill was the sham of inspectors. Same goes for the Flint Drinking Water and I'm sure other man/business created disasters.

Of course, the biggest fuck up by Government was the 2008 bank crash. The Bankers knew they were selling $1 for $1.50 and expected the Government to back their sales. The Governments were unaware of the debt the banks were getting them into or compliant in building the debt. Whatever, the lack of decent inspectors led to the World paying the price.

How much control of the US Government by big business led to these disasters?

To say it doesn't effect Rural Communities is stupid. How many from those States went to fight, die or wounded in wars during the last 20 years?

The article is closer to the truth than many think.
