You think they won’t save money by putting lead in things?
Good point, and with the costs saved from removing flouride, they could further increase child-hydration profit margins by simply having them eat the paint off the walls instead.
Solution: don't have children. Let some more intelligent species with kindness and empathy take over.
Darn, I already had one. I might consider handing them off to a more intelligent species though, if you have a recommendation? Bonobo maybe?
I suggest we do some genetic fiddling, like how scientists gave the NOVA1 gene to mice. They have been shown to have more empathy than humans.
Those same lead filled schools will be sold to private equity companies for pennies on the dollar because they will say they are full of dangerous chemicals. Those private equity companies will rent them out to charter schools and take in the same kids that were already going but charge the parents on top of taking the vouchers the govt gives out.
No one who unironically thinks the private sector will take care of everything knows what an externality is.
Everything about the current Republican party exists to break government to the point of it ceasing to function. When that happens, they can point at it and say "see? Government doesn't work."
Then they sweep in with a privatized solution to the problem they created, and they get richer.
They know it's essential. They also know you'll pay for it if they can kill the governmental solution.
So just like private equities.
I don’t see what the problem is.
The current administration grew up breathing air filled with leaded gas fumes and they’re just fine.
Just like all the people saying how "I was hit as a child and I turned out fine!" and then want to hit kids
Yes yes let's all just make pithy comments and tut tut about those nasty repugnicans
How many of you have been to a protest in the last month?
The answer better motherfucking be all of you.
Word
The left needs to do with "waste, fraud, and abuse" what the right did with "woke". I guess that might be tough because the left doesn't mindlessly parrot talking points as prolifically.
Lead poisoning the youth is considered a desirable outcome for the current admin.
But if we DONT Poison our Kids HOW would we be Able to Afford ANOTHER MultiBillion Dollar contract for President Elon Musk's companies?
Plus it's only inter city, mostly minority children who are affected.
But if a thing isn't making a rich guy richer should it really exist?

The suffering is the point.
:(
I knew that was coming
The facist broligarchs don’t give an F
Honestly, big brain move. Poison everyone with lead, they become stupider, you get more voters, you add more lead to the water.... Become the smartest man alive
