was it worth it ?making literally everyone more retarded for generations just so your engine could run a little smoother
Literally didn’t happen, freakonomics has been so throughly btfo it’s insane No it was probably still not worth it tho
>>28594762The crime wave was because of the civil rights act. It "ended" because we 1) self segregated and 2) stopped keeping track of the bad areas.If ever a population is given more rights and more resources and they hate even more for it, they should be gotten rid of immediately.
The two posters above are prime examples of this.No, it was not worth it.
Lead substitute additive ftw
>>28594762>making literally everyone more retarded for generationsSo what's Gen Z's excuse then?
>>28594762So you don't know about the industrial revolution?
>>28594848Microplastics
So why did millennials turn out retarded
>>28594762>run a little smootherThats not even what the lead was for, dipshit.It lubricated soft valve seats.Now we have hardened valve seats.Historically we used lead water pipes and lead based makeup, from the 1800s and back to days of the Roman Empire.Environmental poisons have been standard for humanity, like using mercury for gold mining.The even had DDT laced wallpaper for children's rooms.
>>28595004That or being raised by lead-poisoned Gen X who had no fucking idea how to deal with their little "digital native".
>>28594762You need to eat it it to metabolize it into your system you stupid droop-dicked mother fucker. I wish you would. I wish you'd drink gallons of it.
>>28595064Zoomers are the generation rased by Gen X. Alpha is almost entirely raised by millennials and maybe the bottom end of Gen X (who really shouldn't have had kids at that age, guaranteed autism). That's why they're extra fucked on top of the microplastic filled baby food.
>>28595005Boomers told them "Just get a job and you'll live ezpz, bro" their entire young lives and once they got into the work force that way of life became obsolete, imo.
>>28595292Whew, I was worried for a moment there. I've just been huffing the fumes so I should be okay
>>28595306>microplastic filled baby foodWonder how bad that was before they even started checking for that shit.I saw some research data somewhere showing alarming amounts of plastic and related chemicals (e.g. bisphenols) in various old packaged food. One old military ration had enough to exceed daily guidelines for a few years straight. Though that one may have had its plastic decay over time, or was packaged while extremely hot to ensure it'd have a long shelf life, decomposing the polymer through excessive heat.

>>28594848ipads
>>28595292This is not true.Breathing lead is very not good for you, actually.
>>28594762>was it worth it ?It made lots of money and passed on the cost to other people, so for the company, it was absolutely worth it.Overall, not worth it. Our grandchildren pay for the consequences of the retardation of their grandparents.
>>28595308Why are millennials allergic to personal responsbility?
>>28596076Seriously. My parents probably made 120k combined and now I make almost 4x what they made. Most of my friends from HS are doctors lawyers engineers. But online all I see are complaints about boomers instead of their own failures.
>>28596092IKR. I make just under USD $500k / yr WFH watching anime and doing meth/heroin speedballs all day while posting to /o/. I'm sick of hearing irresponsible losers whine.
>>28594762>protip: piston engined aircraft use leaded fuel to this day
>>28594762>making literally everyone more retarded for generations just so your engine could run a little smootherYeah I'm thinking based
>>28596092>>28596101ok imagine how retarded those people are now imagine how retarded their parents must bethat's what they deal with, generational intelligence debt.and because this happens in large groups everyone around them is equally retarded so they have no frame of reference.people who live in dense tech and fin havens like nyc and the bay area simply do not realize how far ahead they are vs everyone elseunless you get lucky is is not possible to just go do whatever and make 500k. they don't know how. they cannot even fathom it.in fact i guarantee you inflate that number and your responsibility but regardless, think about how utterly impossible it would be for someone with no technical aptitude, whose maybe never even owned a computer before, to do your job, even as functionally simple as it may be.every day i meet new people who are just fucked. they can't use any of the tools because they're beyond them, and because they're not from a background of people who tried instead of complaining they don't know what to do.
>>28596145I made that up. I make much closer to 5k than 500. I'm very well educated and have worked since turning 16. Got my security+ first try ezpz, can program in anything and know how to design software architecture, do the documentation, and plan out the life cycle. But I'm very poor approaching 40.What I'm saying is that hard work and responsibility don't necessarily bring you money. Ime social skills, advertising yourself, and getting "hooked-up" is how most wealthy people got there.
>>28595292This, plus it makes a tasty snack.
>>28595292mercury is only dangerous if you swallow it, its ok to bathe in it or huff the fumes! based and tradpilled!
