Yay, leaded gas. Surely what the world needs most right now.
This is only for small aircraft. Lead made my dad dumb as rocks, but I don't think small plane pilots are seeing long term effects?
Sure it's stupid to throw it into the air regardless but I imagine it's going to be the cost of business unless we eat the rich
It's the kids who live near the airport who suffer, not the pilots.
Any studies to that effect? Capitalists throwing lead into the air of poor people sounds pretty on-brand
Pretty sure this is never going to cross Biden’s desk.
