You take a dump, flush it down the toilet. The water that flushed your dump gets treated and put back into the water supply which you drink later. That process is repeated many times. I'm less interested in the inputs and more interested in the outputs before the fracking produced water is put back in the supply.

If Texans vote to poison themselves I say let them. If they wanted safe drinking water they should vote for people that support it.

And the children who are getting poisoned? And the slightly less than half of people who voted against the party in power?

Children should blame their parents, half that didn’t vote for it should move. It’s never been easier to move to another state than it is now, companies will drop a box at your place, you fill it up and it appears at your new location.

Not everyone who voted is so lucky as you and I, who can have a company drop a box at our place, which I assume would be a single family or detached home (so there is a place to have the box dropped), plus the time off work to fill it up while also moving other generations of family with us to this new location hundreds of miles away that allows us to continue working with little to no down time or loss of income all while continuing on with life as though we didn't just uproot an entire family with the added bonus of their kids being ripped away from stability, friends, sport teams or garage band-mates.

All things I have no control over, but they ultimately do. Parents aren’t children, they’re _responsible_ for children. Maybe I expect too much.
