“Disconnections due to non-payment are only permissible if it can be shown that the resident is able to pay but is not paying. In other words, when there is genuine inability to pay, human rights simply forbids disconnections.”

Yeah, right. This would be a little less comical if the UN acted as they preached.

In the meantime, how can we all not feel for this woman?

Just never mind the big screen TV and xbox in the background...

I believe the woman in the picture is actually from Atlanta. Not that the Gimmedat mentality there is a whole lot different than Detroit.

This doesn’t necessarily excuse people not paying their bills, however, when you consider the history of job losses directly attributed to an engineered financial fallout, its hard to reconcile the DWSD’s decision in this situation as there are other accounts of them exorbitantly raising the cost of city water.

So this is the new Liberal angle on people not paying their water bills -- the people can't because they are poor and unemployed. They are poor and unemployed because rich fat cat Wall Street types financially plundered the city. Ergo, its not their fault that they refuse to pay their water bills; its Wall Street's fault.

At least they have water. We are going through the worst drought in our areas history.

Hell, they are about to be recycling our waste water for consumption.

And she has to have top tier Cable....not to mention a couple I phones and other toys.

Don’t worry, look how close that space heater is to the drapes. All her swag will be ashes before next spring.

How do I feel about this woman? She is standing in front of a TV larger and newer than mine. Maybe that’s why my water bill is current.

[Ultima]

Have you no compassion? An Xbox and a giant TV is a necessity of life.

[MrB]

The water bill is the only thing NOT subsidized by people who actually work.

Islamics bathe with oil and not water so what’s the problem?
