    What an advance age we live in. Lead poisoning had been replaced by plastic in every way!

    Millennials and Gen Z make fun of boomers for being lead-brained. Gen Alpha and Beta will make fun of Millennials and Gen Z for being plastic-brained.

      They’ll be full of plastic too. About half of it is plastic we breath in dust from clothes and tyres and nobodies even talking about fixing it.

      And it’s Gen X that got the brunt of lead.
