President Biden on Tuesday announced $2.6 billion in funding to replace all lead pipes in the United States as part of a new EPA rule that will require lead pipes to be identified and replaced within 10 years using the new funding from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Act.

TIL that lead pipes carrying drinking water are still used in the States.
Suddenly SO MUCH makes sense.
Lead pipes are still in use all over the world, including europe
Famously so in Flint, Michigan. Lead poisoning in water and air is no joke and does serious damage to cognitive ability. Average lead levels in air are still painfully high and it does not go away.
Same in Montreal but wére fïně
“I’m from Canada, and they say I’m slow, eh”
This is a conspiracy to weaken the Republican party!
Typical Democrat, trying to reduce mental illness and therefore reduce Republican support.
Trump will get elected, claim that fixing the pipes is wasteful government spending, and cancel the whole plan.
So anyone with lead in their pipes has to continue to be poisoned for up to ten years before the government generously deems them worthy of clean water.
