This chart doesn’t show the adult blood lead levels boomers had through continuing exposure. They didn’t get as huge a dose as kids, but they got it for longer.

But yeah, you’re understanding why I am asking why people think this is becoming less of an issue. It’s just shifting a bit. As a GenXer myself, I would probably be ok with an age limit of like 40 to hold political office at this point. Neither we nor the boomers can be trusted.

What makes you think lead poisoning has wound down as GenX ages into taking over from the Boomers?

It’s a fine line - getting tired of having to meet people where they are when they’re standing in the shit.

Good on you for having the energy to keep it up.

Let.me know which bit I got wrong such that I should enhance my chill.

Oh, you means liberals did something instead of nothing, and then it wasn’t perfect, so conservatives absolutely lost their goddamn minds, only to realize hey maybe we should do something, now let’s address the things the liberals wanted to address in the FIRST FUCKING PLACE?

Is that what you mean?
