Political Speculation and Water Crisis Reflections

This chapter explores the unexpected return of a former president to Washington, D.C., prompting various theories about his motives while also addressing the pressing water crisis in Jackson, Mississippi. The discussion highlights the systemic neglect faced by marginalized communities, comparing Jackson's struggles to Flint, Michigan, and critiques the political and infrastructural failures exacerbating the situation. Additionally, the chapter reflects on the lasting impacts of post-9/11 policies, particularly those enacted by the Bush administration, and how they continue to shape current socio-political landscapes.
