You are correct, but since some may read that and assume that all aviation fuel is leaded, I wanted to add more info.

Most people don't know that "airplane fuel" and "jet fuel" are different. Jet fuel is not leaded. The fuel used by small, piston-driven prop engines is. Because small piston aircraft still use leaded fuel, aviation is still the largest source of airborne lead emissions. The FAA is working to phase it out by 2030.

huh. maybe the chemtrail people were onto something.

Just flew with 100LL, and I also clean up with anti-lead soap. I'm the only pilot I know who does this, but I can't wait to fly something electric ugh.

Isn't it just for some prop planes? Also there's an approved unleaded version but for slme reason it's being rolled out slowly

It's why boomers are so fucking dumb

Eh, Gen-z who are chuds do of course hold responsibility for their own actions, but they were started down the path by really hard to overcome disadvantages previous generations had where family was present to socialize them, teach them how to treat others, previous generations had third spaces to socialize with peers to learn how not to be asshats, to learn what behaviors wouldn’t be tolerated, and the silent generation, boomers, and now gen-x (my gen) ARE guilty of one by one letting or actively helping all the structures that made socialization and generationally passed down behavioral guidance possible go away or be stripped by stopping the flow of corporate gains to the lower and middle classes, forcing families to all work, and sometimes all work multiple jobs, they voted against social programs, against traditional funding that built transportation systems, parks, and other third spaces by reducing taxation on the wealthy in the name of lowering taxes and the Ayn Rand myth of extreme self reliance.

When you stop investing in society, you stop getting the benefits of a society, and the first to go is the social contract, where people treat each other with some level of respect due to acknowledgement of said social contract, for the most part.

Can’t blame boomers for the number of Gen-Z males who are absolute chuds.

But we can blame lead poisoning from poorly-soldered vape batteries

You can blame them for being in positions of power that can be taken advantage of due to the brain damage.

The divergence makes sense.

Children age out of the sample cohort, but still have high lead levels and still contribute to the crime cohort.

I'd expect to see the lead level rate be proportional to the birth rate and the crime rate proportional to the death rate. Having the chart extend another 15 years to today might show that.

Perhaps the preschoolers who were exposed to lead, who then went on to become violent 20-somethings, continued to be more violent in their 30s.

And the paint, don't forget the leaded paint. And the ceramic tile. And cosmetics. And costume jewelry. And pipes/plumbing. And pottery. And older vinyl, like blinds. And almost all older strained glass uses lead to hold the panels together. And even older plastics often contained lead to soften the material, and we all know how badly old plastic often deteriorates.

There's a shit ton of lead in products made before the turn of the century.

It is one of the processes of lead poisoning yes. Lead is mistaken for Calcium and stored in your bones.

There's some studies that look into this and its effects on mental health of all stripes. I'm certain in the coming decades there'll be more as the boomers start suffering and dying.
