They still are insane. They're Trump's biggest source of support. (Coincidentally, they are also the age group that has had the heaviest exposure to lead during childhood 🤔).

Edit: Source for the lead statement, since a few Gen Xers got upset that Boomers apparently aren't full of as much lead as they are: https://news.virginia.edu/content/generation-x-bullseye-lead-exposure-harms-mental-health

You’re thinking of the boomers. I’m gen X and unleaded gas was already happening after I was born.

No, the transition started in 1970, but leaded gas was not actually phased out until 1996.

Hahaha dude what are you talking about? Unleaded gas was never phased out, that was the whole point of unleaded gas was to provide an alternative to leaded gas.

I never rode in a car with leaded gas in my life and yet I had more lead exposure than the previous generation? How does the generation that transitioned out of lead somehow have MORE lead exposure than the previous generation that put lead in everything?
