@elizayer I feel this trending #Mastodon post is a massive disservice to our youth. If you look at voting intentions in the UK it’s the over 50s voting for climate denial, racism, genocide, and oligarchy funded political parties.
Where has the globally informed, future wise electorate been for future generations, since forever?
@nspugh @elizayer Did I say any historic electorate had wisdom?
My point was that "the over 50s voting for climate denial, racism, genocide, and oligarchy funded political parties" are brain damaged by exposure to lead.
Do not let government backslide on eliminating environmental protections like the US now sees under that lead-poisoned git Trump.
Lead is a very toxic element and can cause a variety of symptoms at low concentrations. Lead dust or fumes can irritate the eyes on contact, as well as causing irritation to the nose and throat on inhalation. Acute exposure can lead to loss of appetite, weight loss, stomach upsets, nausea and muscle cramps. High levels of acute exposure may also cause brain and kidney damage. Chronic exposure can lead to effects on the blood, kidneys, central nervous system and vitamin D metabolism.
