      My hot take: if you were alive while lead was legally allowed in gasoline, you shouldn’t be allowed to be in office.

      the asshole that put lead in gasoline.

      Given the knowledge of the time it increased performance and fuel economy. It wasn’t until decades later we realized it was horrible to humans and we started to phase it out.

      I mean, asbestos was seen as a “wonder” material for a long time before we understood how terrible it was. Hell they used asbestos snow in wizard of oz.
