Why are we still letting the generation that was most severely compromised by lead poisoning during their childhoods have any authority over anything
@anon_opin There’s a theory that lead pollution in the US was a factor in the spate of serial killers in the 70s and lead water piping in the Imperial palace why the Julio-Claudian emperors were so bonkers. Obviously not the only reason but…
@anon_opin I'll never pass up an opportunity to shit on Thomas Midgley. That guy fucked everything for at least 50 years
@anon_opin The generation after that was asbestos poisoned, and now we're full of microplastics, long covid and AI slopbrain. Everyone's fucked up, not just the old people.

@ephemeromorph @anon_opin the generation after that? You mean before?

We all share forever chemicals and some lead exposure, but Gen X got the worst of all of it, including asbestos exposure.

Apparently the Microplastic thing was over exaggerated, the tests they used were not quite right, it is everywhere but perhaps not in your testicles and brain tissues.
