Nah, generational lead poisoning gave us the Great Regression, taking our boomers and making them the way they are instead of being their parents, who flew to the moon and made the UN as a way to foster discission before jumping into war. There was hope in humanity’s actions before lead made myopic narcissists who were okay with poisoning the world.
lead was in everything way before the boomers… pipes, cups, plates, paint… people used to bite lead fishing weights….
lead led to the downfall of rome….
the generations before the boomers were plenty good at poisoning the earth…. and many boomers did want to stop it and started the whole hippie thing, earth day, and civil right….
It was leaded gasoline that made lead ubiquitous. Previously folks could minimize the exposure with precaution but by 1930 it was inescapable. No longer limited to physical proximity, lead fumes ensured it was in the air and rain put it in the water.
Nah, everybody dies of something. It’s also never ACTUALLY “old age”. It’s either cancer, or a cascading failure of organs caused by a chronic disease, or both.
worse is pretty subjective… is brain damage worse than brain cancer?
the full effects of this aren’t understood, of course… but my money is on: very very bad.
Probably worse. There is a high risk that the microplastics will cause inflammation that will lead to cancer. Microplastics are everywhere in our bodies, which means we may develop cancers throughout our body.
Nice profile picture… Tim. Are you aware of !hellointernet? It’s not very active, but that’s sort of to be expected in the given circumstances. Just thought I’d let you know in case you missed it.
