The Poisoned City: Flint's Water and the American Urban TragedyWhen the people of Flint, Michigan, turned on their faucets in April 2014, the water pouring out was poisoned with lead and other toxins.

When the people of Flint, Michigan, turned on their faucets in April 2014, the water pouring out was poisoned with lead and other toxins.
Through a series of disastrous decisions, the state government had switched the city's water supply to a source that corroded Flint's aging lead pipes. Complaints about the foul-smelling water were dismissed: the residents of Flint, mostly poor and African American, were not seen as credible, even in matters of their own lives. It took eighteen months of activism by city residents and a band of dogged outsiders to force the state to admit that the water was poisonous. By that time, twelve people had died and Flint's children had suffered irreparable harm. The long battle for accountability and a humane response to this man-made disaster has only just begun. In the first full account of this American tragedy, Anna Clark's The Poisoned City recounts the gripping story of Flint's poisoned water through the people who caused it, suffered from it, and exposed it. It is a chronicle of one town, but could also be about any American city, all made precarious by the neglect of infrastructure and the erosion of democratic decision making. Places like Flint are set up to fail--and for the people who live and work in them, the consequences can be fatal.Binding Type: Paperback

Follow all the instructions
Color: Black
I really really like this product. Just be sure to read the directions about the charging required before first use. The instructions were simple and easy to understand when using a large bottle of wine. Be sure to hold the bottle securely or in may want to turn as the cart plunger goes down

Very good opener with some cheap attachments
Color: Black
This is a very good wine opener. It's light weight, well made, and opens bottles with no issues. Best part about this one that sets it apart from the competition is the charging base. I've tried a couple different ones so far and they all require you to plug a cord directly into the unit to charge it. With this one, it charges as soon as you set it into the base so you don't forget. The con with this one however is that the foil cutter is stored in the base and doesn't snap onto the unit itself like my old one. It's a very small inconvenience but just worth noting. The wine stopper and aerator are kind of like plastic toys but i really don't use them anyways. For the price though, having a charging base is worth the switch. Overall, really like this opener.

The functionality, speed & value are superior!
I LOVE THIS PRODUCT! I enjoy my evening glass or 2 of wine, BUT I always had to ask hubby to open the bottle or even the box for me. Granted he has never complained, but well, lets just say, I always felt guilty for making him get out of his recliner.
This wine opener has exceeding my expectations! It' is so easy to use. Use the cutting tool to break the foil seal, (after many uses I need new blades) place the opener with the corkscrew on top of the bottle. Get a firm grip of the neck of the bottle, & push the down button. Then let it quietly, quickly & with so much ease remove the cork!
It is so easy to use! Just plug it into a charger overnight & then you are ready to open many bottles of your favorite wine!
The functionality, speed & value are superior! Get one for your vacation bag, your kitchen, bar, etc, order one for your girlfriends/boyfriends, mother, aunt etc. :) They will thank you for it!

Game Changer for Wine Lovers
Color: 8-in-1 Silver, Size: Rechargeable
Circle Joy Electric Wine Bottle Opener and I’m honestly really impressed.
Setup was super simple, and it works exactly as advertised—just place it on the bottle, press a button, and the cork comes out smoothly in seconds. No struggling, no broken corks, and no mess. It makes opening wine feel effortless and a lot more enjoyable.
I also love the sleek design—it looks modern and feels sturdy, not cheap. If you have the set with accessories, the extras like the foil cutter and pourer are a nice bonus and actually useful.
Overall, this is a great little gadget, especially if you open wine often or just want something convenient and easy to use. Definitely a solid buy or even a nice gift idea.
