Who's his challenger? Where do we donate or volunteer? What is being done to vote for some better representation in that area?

Because these "news stories" about upset people keep happening but nothing is changing.

“The future of civilization could hang in this election,” Musk told the crowd of roughly 4,500 people, later adding, “I’m very excited for the AfD, I think you’re really the best hope for the future of Germany.”

edit: just in case anyone wanted the receipts

~~I posted the gif of it as a response with no commentary over on /c/politics and now the thread has been removed. 🤷‍♂️~~

edit: I think the thread was removed as a dupe, not because of this.

I hear you, but as someone who has seen my country torn apart by Murdoch and his propaganda empire, I think the OC's statement is far more fair than the up/down votes they have received. 🤷‍♂️

This chart doesn't show the adult blood lead levels boomers had through continuing exposure. They didn't get as huge a dose as kids, but they got it for longer.

But yeah, you're understanding why I am asking why people think this is becoming less of an issue. It's just shifting a bit. As a GenXer myself, I would probably be ok with an age limit of like 40 to hold political office at this point. Neither we nor the boomers can be trusted.

What makes you think lead poisoning has wound down as GenX ages into taking over from the Boomers?

A study of childhood blood lead levels showing GenX being affected the most.

I am staggered that my kids don't have more horror stories from school and I am starting to think our generation maybe went through a special hell.
