Thank the capitalist ba*rds who convinced the EU to ban lead so
that product lifecycles would be shortened, enabling more sales.

The same "capitalist ba*rds" that ran lead out of gasoline and
paint, no doubt.


The ba*rds did get the lead out, but for another reason,

Gasoline emissions spewed the stuff into the air we breathed. That was
unhealthy, especially in the quantities used: 375 million gallons a day
(USA 2004) Leaded gas is 0.012% Pb

Besides, the USA would have sunk through to the earth's core under the
weight.


It was Euro retards claiming damage to humans. Except for the fact
that it has been proven over and over that metallic form lead poses no
threat to the environment.

If it did, there would be higher lead counts in the water tables near
lead mines and places like police shooting ranges, and there is not.
