Except they didn’t, and begged for help throughout their crisis.

They begged for water. Once they got bottles, they easily cooked pasta

They also couldn't just literally go to West Philly and drink tap water normally

At no point did I say the situations were the same, but reading is hard.

Also, it was lead, among other contaminants, in the water supply, which continues to poison residents to this day. Be best.

You are comparing them in response to my comment, implying that I’m saying they’re the same. And let’s not forget the literal first thing you said on this thread.

“Flint Michigan managed.”

Be best.

You’re correct, you’re just the guy agreeing with that dude and downplaying the whole incident.

I'm downplaying the Philadelphia incident because it's much less severe than Flint because West Philly's water was not effected in any way and you could literally go to a bar in West Philly, buy a sandwich, and fill up a jug in the bathroom

From u/VeryStab1eGenius, in response to a question about how Flint “managed”:

“To cook with bottled water.”

Literally you, on the same thread, when I called out that dude by stating that they did not “manage”:

“They begged for water. Once they got bottles, they easily cooked pasta”

Just own what you said.

It's a joke. Begging for water obviously being a horrendous situation to find yourself in while living in the richest country in the history of human civilization and using bottled water to cook pasta obviously not acceptable or comforting in anywa way shape or form.

The joke is provided context by the second sentence which states that these situations are in no way comparable (referencing the OG comment that Flint managed) because the water in West Philly is totally fine.
