You should start a “were all gonna die” ping list.
Gosh, remember all the lead based paints, and I remember kids
chewing on those paint chips. As babygene pointed out, drinking water use to flow in lead pipes.
What about Mercury? I remember how mush fun it was to roll those little balls of mercury, and coat coins with it to make them sooo shinny.
Paint chips? Do you mean “wall candy”?
This sounds like a pretext to having you turn in all of your old unsafe consumer goods for nice shiny new government approved consumer goods, guaranteed not to put your eye out.
but making moonshine with lead pipes leads to blindness. You have to use copper pipes to keep from poisoning someone...daddy use to make shine...
