Yes the lead is one of the many issues i didn’t get into, it is on the decline though. However, microplastics is the new lead. We know it affects the endocrine system, as of yet, though, we do not know how, or what the effects will be. Point being, blaming this behavior on education isn’t shooting at the right target, and there are so many targets.
I don’t think these factors are specifically unique to the US, some more than other. I think a lot of the environmental stuff you can see in many places, lead is not just a problem in the US, we are just more talkative about it.
Oh, definitively not. I’m not even 30, and I remember that NY dad’s car from when I was a kid needed a special additive to replace the lead, because that had been banned since he bought it
I’m referring more to lead pipes eg Flint, Michigan. USA has really old infrastructure, and from what little I know, GOP state governments aren’t big on fixing those sort of problems.
You missed lead poisoning. I believe that’s epidemic in America…

Sure, but microplastics is a world wide issue. Lead, not so much. And here, we were discussing why America, in particular, is so goddam stupid.
