Biden sets a 10-year deadline for US cities to replace lead pipes and make drinking water safer
  • Your removed the comment anyway... For no reason, so I'll just say fuck you, you corporation-loving far right piece of shit.

    I hope your kids are forced to go to a future Superfund site for school just so you understand why we shouldnt trust that corporations have our best interest at heart, cunt.

  • Oh no, Id have to have free healthcare, affordable housing, government job finding assistance, free education and vocational training wholly dependent on my grades, free addiction assistance should I fall into addiction, an economy built for resilience instead of catered to boom/bust cycles...

    How would I survive in such a horrid nightmarescape.

  • Yes and it's a correct statement. The reason we used lead pipes instead of steel or iron or even wood is solely due to cost and corporate lobbying downplaying the dangers we have known about for 2000. You will not find a modern study saying lead pipes are safe for drinking water, because theyre not, we know they not, and we've known they not for longer than the concept of pressurized plumbing.

    Romans didn't use lead for pipes, by the way, not until the very end of the empire, they used lead for drinking cups and plates... And we know the outcome of that, an emperor declared war on the sea.

  • Reread, try again. More importantly, yes corporations are out to fuck you over, fuck society over, just to make money regardless of what damage it does. Smoking tobacco is an ancient practice that was known to be harmful too, are you saying we should trust the peer reviewed science sponsored by Philip Morris and accepted as sworn testimony by Congress that smoking is completely safe and not habit forming?

  • If you eat just rabbits, nothing else, just lean rabbit meat you will starve to death

    It doesn't matter if you eat 2000 or 10000 kcal of rabbit, if you don't get more nutritious food, you will die of starvation and your body will waste away.

    More calories by itself isn't a good thing.

  • "relatively recently" was the fucking Roman empire.

    Lead should have never been used near water, we've known the negative health effects since before any current country existed. We knew lead pipes were not safe going into the era of modern indoor plumbing. It was cheaper than the alternatives though, so it got installed.

    And to your conspiracy point, we used to put lead in gasoline despite knowing it was poisoning of people and crops, and there was a conspiracy to keep it in gasoline.

  • CO2 also lowers nutrient density despite increasing total size and weight of crops, meaning you have fewer nutrients per calorie and per pound. Even if you could spin this into a positive, all crops have the same vulnerabilities to heat stress, drought, and unpredictable seasons, all of which are increased by excess CO2.

    Even with crispr changing the timeline to create new crops that might handle the new climate every year to be incredibly short, theres not enough time to produce and distribute those new versions before the climate has changed enough to require yet newer versions of said crops.

    But good news, bugs and algae will be plentiful. hope you like algae bars with insect protein bars as a snack.

  • I never said fluoride was toxic in normal quantities, but the reason we put fluoride in drinking water is because of lobbying. Fluoride was and is primarily an industrial waste product that was thrown out for decades, until several mining and material refinement companies lobbied the federal government along side state and local governments to legally dump the waste in drinking water, using the new at the time research that fluoride can help tooth health as an excuse.

    This is despite the fact fluoride has no effect on tooth health when consumed, and there are not high enough levels in drinking water to have a topical effect like in toothpaste. We're quite literally just lucky it's not toxic until you get to really high levels.

  • Because our country has always been ruled by corporations and at one point we had a bunch of lead that companies couldn't sell at a high enough price so the pushed it in all sorts of applications it should have never been in. It's the same reason we add fluoride to drinking water.

  • They kinda are in context. They're easily preventable tragedies that can be permanently stopped really easily, but we actively chose to not because kids lives are less important than not being "socialist."
