Town in Georgia has arsenic that residents didn’t know…

Sounds familiar, yes? but the Georgia in question is the former Soviet Republic. And like our own Poison Hill, “Gold Hill Mesa Estates” McMansions starting at a quarter million here in Colorado Springs, houses built on top of a toxic waste mound, it was about mine waste.
The other part of the story in the opening paragraph which some “capital is god” proponents would find shocking…
Georgia, two and a half decades after the “fall of communisim” has been living under the freest of free market capitalist regimes in the world, has only 60% of the wealth they had under the Soviet Union WHAT?
Wasn’t the Economic Strangulation of Communism replaced with the much better (so we’re told) Capitalism, replete with all the formerly publicly owned mines, gas wells and other industries having been turned over to International Colonialist Corporations didn’t bring them a net profit but instead a net LOSS?
My my my my my my my my… seems a certain set of Capitalist Propagandists have been busy little bees, spreading lies all over the place…
