is there ever gonna be a study for how retarded boomer tradies were? what prevented them from putting this receptacle in the next bay over instead of chopping up what likely was load bearing?

this wall i removed was from the 60s, original house was from the 20s. make it make sense to a young buck like me.

I lived in a place that had plaster walls. Under the drywall that is. We did a reno the kitchen and took it down to the studs. There was a layer of drywall under like 4 layers of paint. The bottom layer was a sea foam green color. Under the drywall was a layer of wallpaper, a few layers of paint, and then plaster.

Lead poisoning.

Oligarchs deliberately poisoned the world with leaded gasoline to dumb down the masses.

they'll curse me all the same but wont know the whole story. this was the story of a lazy faggot who couldnt cut out 1sq foot of wall to put a box in a good spot. its obvious if you take a gander around the other side of the wall and down below that this was possible and the better choice that cutting up a bearing column.

Deliberately. There is no rational non-malicious explanation for the addition of tetraethyl-lead to gasoline. Simple as.

It was cheaper and easier than the alternatives. Same reason they had that little razor blade slot in medicine cabinets. Or just dumped garbage in convenient locations without lining them. Or just burned whatever and allowed it to pollute the air. Or put used oil into storm drains. Or developed disposable plates and cups. The list goes on and on.

nigga id you willingly participate in something because its convenient rather than thought through, you are not much smarter than a nigger.
