Summary

Who’s to blame for the Hinkley, CA Groundwater Contamination?

This week, The Alarmist (Rebecca Delgado Smith) welcomes Tim Rock to the show to discuss the conundrum of the groundwater contamination in Hinkley, CA. Or perhaps more famously known as the Erin Brokevich story. Is America suffering from a missing empathy chip? Is this a classic case of late stage capitalism? Or is there something more clinical going on that allows for these harmful crimes against humanity? Producer Clayton Early and Fact Checker Chris Smith join the conversation.
