“Sharing within the pack? But of course. Outside the pack? Get bent!”
That would be a kludge if it were merely absurd, but your public water system poisoning your drinking water because they know it’s already poisonous is a blaring confession of ineptitude.
If you’re looking for something government does well, the list stops at killing: Its only useful function is killing bad guys, but it much prefers killing businesses, hopes, dreams and innocents. If it can casually kill you with your drinking water, so much the better.
The obvious course of action would be to get government out of every activity where the objective is not killing people. There’s no guarantee they can even manage national defense, by now, but their ability to screw everything else up is as clear as that milky, smelly glass of water in front of you.
