I dug into the sources a bit. Apparently they were excluding white neighborhoods from checks, then somebody else was removing non-asian names before forwarding it for further investigation.
Looking into the sources and tracing a bit:
The city has assessed the vast majority of the fines—more than 85 percent—against owners of Asian descent. A SMUD analyst avoided searching homes in a predominantly white neighborhood, while a police official removed non-Asian names from one of the lists generated by SMUD before forwarding the information on for further investigation.
If they actually did this, well, that's like how the NRA forced most "may issue" states to be effectively "shall issue" for various weapon permits.
When the police can't come up with a good reason for denying the black woman's permit request when she has letters from a ex-boyfriend stalker threatening to kill her, who is due to be released from prison soon, but the white doctor living in a gated community gets it first thing, there are questions to be asked. Especially when permits for black people have a 99% reject rate while whites get them 90% of the time.
because any attempt to offer the same choice more than once could not hide the history of prior choices.
Test it on advanced Alzheimer patients.
Just to be clear, I believe that part of the problem was that the city government was broke and basically in receivership. Ergo, the politicians in Flint were not actually in control of the water contracts, it was an emergency manager appointed by Governor Rick Snyder(R).
I remembered the broke part and not in control, looked up the specifics.
Basically, to cut costs, the manager stopped the practice of piping water from Detroit and started using the historically very polluted and corrosive Flint River, without adequate testing and treatment (itself actually a violation of federal law).
Because many of the homes still had lead service pipes, going from basic to acidic caused the protective oxidization on the pipes to dissolve, putting excessive lead into the water.
It eventually made national news, but by all measures, this is still a far better situation than what Tehran is facing.
Switching back to the old water source or adding more controls like running the water through a filter of crushed limestone to correct the PH fixes the issues in Flint. No such easy solution is possible for Tehran.
"It's Biden's fault! He left his auto-pen on and it poked holes in the dike." (No, I don't mean Melania.)
Climate change is a participant in their water supply problem, but not the sole cause.
Different translations seem to imply different things. Any Greekologists here?

Example?
Sorry, I didn't get that quite correct, they're Passive Autocatalytic Recombiners. They require no external power.
It wasn't just the generators or sea wall. Another one of the problems is that they never installed the hydrogen reformers designed to burn off the hydrogen buildup from an overheating core safely.
As recommended by the reactor manufacturer and installed on US plants.
There would have been a lot less boom with them installed.
Teachers were never not Democrats. It's been a Democrat institution from the start, due to the close Marxist affinity and the predominance of women in the field.
So many logical fallacies in there, buddy.
If you want these things, then you will pay for a good public education.
This presumes that "good public education" is being funded with tax money. It is, conclusively, not. It has in fact been getting significantly worse - which is why people are opting out of it.
Do you want educated neighbors?
No formal education is, in most cases, better than bad formal education. I'd rather my neighbors not be stupid but think they know something, which is what the last 50 years has produced.
Who you can hire for your business? Who will have enough income to purchase your product? Who will be employed and can adapt their skills to a rapidly changing environment?
There's no evidence that education can elevate someone over their inborn genetic potential. You've either got the building blocks for intelligence or you don't. See also the last several centuries of 3rd world "enrichment" that's been carried out by one means or another - education, charity, etc. - of places like India and Africa. I'm sure you can look up average IQs if it's of interest.
Who will be employed and can adapt their skills to a rapidly changing environment?
I can hire a home schooled person, then? Because this criteria definitely doesn't fit your average public schooled individual.
Who will know how to make healthy choices for themselves and for their neighbors (you)?
Yes, the Food Pyramid, D.A.R.E., and "Sex Ed" had a fantastic impact on society's wellness trajectory - I'm sure we can all agree on that, right? (This is sarcasm.)
Who will carefully consider and thinking critically about public issues and use that knowledge when they vote?
OK, now I know you were being facetious. There's no way you're talking about state schooled kids here.
This is the wrong approach. Perhaps it'd have been accepted earlier, but they've shot themselves in the foot due to their inaction over the grooming pedophilia groups that were operating with impunity - and seemingly, protection! - on their platform. It was brought to their attention repeatedly, publicly, and they did all the wrong things and did not address the issue.
Fuck them.
