My hot take: if you were alive while lead was legally allowed in gasoline, you shouldn't be allowed to be in office.
35 for president
It should be 35-65 for the President. Which means the last time they can run is when they are 61.
Leaded gasoline is still used as aviation fuel.
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.
Are you seriously this thick or are you just pretending?
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?
Of course not. Why would you think I'm trying to make that point?
