How conscientious and agreeable of you

the entire world was on lead, some places worse than the us, and it's been a commonly recurring thing in the past couple thousand years of human history due to its use

it seems to disagree with the microplastics that the kids are taking now

>No wonder so many of them love politicians who preach lower conscientiousness, lower agreeableness, and higher neuroticism as a political philosophy.

Do you honestly believe GenX and Millennial politicians will be any different without some drastic change? When your generation produces the exact same corrupt politicians, maybe you will blame the actual political class who lies to get into office and breaks promises while enriching themselves at the expense of the taxpayer, instead of scapegoating a generation of people.

From recent experience, the non-"political class" politicians don't seem to be that much better about enriching themselves in office.

I had the same thought, but I feel a bit uncomfortable saying it without evidence. It's hard to say really, there could be other factors involved. I do know many boomers who are really good people, sensitive and intelligent.
