    I never said it was a pass. But it is something you must take into account.

    We added fucking lead to everything back then. Even the fucking water lines and gasoline pumping it into every breath they took whether they wanted to or not. An entire generation fucked by lead without knowing it at the time.

    Lead exposure has been shown to things like increased aggression. Which propaganda then takes to the next level by stoking artificial fear.

      The way you phrase and articulate your statements reads like you are suggesting that lead is the culprit of Boomer behavior, and not deep character flaws and a broad sense of entitlement and narcissistic indulgences. Hence my rebuttal.

        Oh no there’s a lot of bullshit with the boomers. Lead is just one of many things. It’s not all just because they’re assholes, there are some legitimate contributors that result in the extreme bullshit pie.
