    Nah, that’s boomers.

    Most countries cut out leaded petrol for good when x’ers were rolling around their teens / early 20’s, boomers copped it their entire lives well into middle age. The famous reduction of violence when it started getting cut? Wasn’t gen-x’ers doing that shit in the 70’s.

    I’ve often suspected it’s why we’re seeing older generations get batshit as rhey age. Lead can be uptaken into bones, and leach back out as the bone degrades. Like, say, with age

      There’s been a few studies that have been looking into the effect of lead in the environment and its effects on mental acuity as the person gets older. It’s not a wide confirmation but the start that as Boomers get older, they are literally going insane from lead.

          Know that quote from Lincoln? I’ll paraphrase it. You can fool some people all the time. You can fool some of the people all the time. But eventually they’ll wisen up. That’s what happened here. It seems the Gen Z men are wisening up, slowly though with reports and statistics I’ve seen.
