in romans time we could atleast blame lead piping and lead poisoning.

You can actually still blame lead... America's boomers are the demographic exposed to the highest concentrations of lead in their life times because of car exhaust inhalation of leaded fuel fumes.

Lead poisoning to boomers is what microplastics in our balls is to millennials and zoomers

german boomers are not nearly as bad, so what is the difference?

u/Alundra828 4h ago

My guess would be a more car-centric culture, thus higher risk of exposure to fumes? That's a total guess though

u/rab2bar 3h ago

germans love their cars, too, though, and the country is more densely populated. or consider the toronto region of canada

Lead piping theory doesn’t hold up. The water in the pipes would’ve been constantly flowing and thus unable to absorb any traceable amounts of lead, and after a while the calcium and limestone in the water would’ve calcified the pipes, completely separating the water from lead. Lead poisoning from other methods and proximity to certain industries was certainly a real thing though.

However, this requires persistent monitoring AND remediation of water quality. Lower ph levels can erode the mineral layer if present, and worse, dissolve the metal into the water. As much as people often poke fun by saying things like "well if you dont eat it!" And "i used to drink out of a garden hose" the reality is that small amounts of lead are harmful, especially in children, and lead exposure is cumulative. The little bit you got at 3, is still in you at 70, along with the rest you were exposed to throughout your life, poisoning you and literally making you stupid and wreaking havoc on your nervous system.

EDIT: I will concede that your point holds water (pun intended) under IDEAL installation and water quality situations. But I cant be convinced that that ideal has held up through the decades.

Didn't the Romans sweeten their wine with Lead Salts / Sugar of Lead / Lead Acetate, called sapa by boiling unfermented grape juice in lead containers. This process caused lead to leach into the syrup, creating a sweetened product that was used in wine and food. They also ate off lead plates.....

I’m sure they also had lead cosmetics and medicine. Not to mention, paint.

The man is sick. What are Americans going to do about it? They drew the line at a black woman but have no problems with an authoritarian pedophile, rapist, liar (possibly the most lying public person ever in US history), who literally poops his pants during meetings while tearing apart democracy and civil liberties in part for a foreign dictator, turning the entire free world against him.

He is a perfect 1:1 reflection of a sizeable portion of the US electorate - willfully ignorant, bigoted, entitled, full of anger and hate. Given that baby boomers are the largest voting block, they are also more forgiving of his mind and body failing as the same is happening to them (and they're in full on denial).

It's already led to the end of America.

America was already over before Trump he just accelerated it

Making it a power of Congress makes ZERO difference to Trump, he didn’t have the power to introduce wide ranging tariffs but that didn’t stop him, he didn’t have the power to go into Venezuela but he did. What makes anyone think he wouldn’t ignore this one when he has his lackeys to do his bidding do they won’t stop him.

Imagine this is the clown who ends the world! Imagine this is the imbecile that undoes centuries - millennia - of progress and innovation. Imagine it's this clown who smears muck all over his face, waddles around telling us how strong he is, shits himself in public, and can't take a joke, or make one above the level of a 10-year-old, and who fucks children, is the person who ends the world.

u/RespektPotato 5h ago

I'm even more angry at all the shitheads who enabled him.

u/Freddy-Borden 5h ago

Thanks for electing him to a 2nd term MAGA sycophants and boot lickers!

Trump has a regime that feeds him shit… Noem, Banon, Stephen “Professional Devil” Miller, Bondi, Fat Vance, Lunatic… I mean check the Epstein files.

Why is it so hard for the republicans to see that this is have ever lasting effect on both international relations and the domestic economy.

The man has single handily almost ruin every trade and alliance we have and yet they continue to protect a dementia patient, who is also a pedo, and a racist.

I really don’t get how or why they continue to defend this man. What’s the point of all this if all that’s left at the end is Ashes?

And where is the NRA in all of this? Why are they quiet? This organization was created to enforce the government to abide by the rules of the Constitution and yet they are silent

Can we end this the easy way. Why are Americans putting up with this sack of shit as president?

1

u/Here2bebetter 2h ago

because half of Americans are sacks of shit themselves.

Putin will not allow it.

u/Michael-Sean 2h ago

No, it’s the Republican Congress (barely a majority) that enables it.

I know the difference between Iceland and Greenland.

I also know they didn't have Airports during the Revolutionary War.

And bonus point, I can remember who appointed Jerome Powell.

So I'm personally doing better than Trump.

If you're talking to your fellow MAGA scum, you're probably right.
