    Diabetes and high blood pressure have negative effects on the cognitive abilitys… So blame this all on Fast food and the asshole that put lead in gasoline.

      My hot take: if you were alive while lead was legally allowed in gasoline, you shouldn’t be allowed to be in office.

        Hot take, you aren’t allowed to vote for the first 18 years… You shouldn’t be for the last as well. And same goes for presidency, is it 30 or 40? Anyway same there.

          Conveniently enough, aircraft are mostly in the sky where the general population isn’t exposed to their exhaust, and most people don’t own an airplane or handle aviation fuel

            There are still people living around airfields, where the engines idle waiting for a runway, or run at full throttle furing takeoff.

            Where do you think the lead goes? Is it lighter than air? Will it float higher? Or will it fall?

              Do you think there’s nearly as much lead exposure from aviation fuel for older prop planes compared to literally all ground cars using leaded fuel?

      the asshole that put lead in gasoline.

      Given the knowledge of the time it increased performance and fuel economy. It wasn’t until decades later we realized it was horrible to humans and we started to phase it out.

      I mean, asbestos was seen as a “wonder” material for a long time before we understood how terrible it was. Hell they used asbestos snow in wizard of oz.
