What are some major fuckups in the year of 2016?

The ridiculous water catastrophe in Flint, Michigan.

If you live in Fruitvale, a San Francisco Bay area town, your water is poison. More lead in it than Flint Michigan.

If I recall correctly (and I might be wrong about this) Fruitvale was one of the places early in the Personal Computer boom where the silicon valley kept it's machine shops and filthy filthy wafer fab operations... Before they found out how toxic wafer fab ops were and moved them to third world countries where they could poison people at will.
