“We’re here today because we’re finally addressing an issue that should have been addressed a long time ago in this country — the danger that lead pipes pose to our drinking water,” Mr. Biden said. “For too long, local communities have known how important it was to deal with this problem. It hadn’t been given the national priority that it demanded though. I’m here today to tell you that I’m finally insisting that it gets prioritized and I’m insisting it get done.”
~ Joseph Biden, next write-in candidate that’ll win the next election.
I’m not quite sure what to say to this one. Out of nowhere you’re dropping a ten year deadline for upending the entire decaying sewer infrastructure of the U.S in like, the last stretch of your career? The fuck?
Wait, they still have lead pipelines in the US??! In 2024?!?
Next you’re going to tell me they still haven’t removed all the asbestos from homes yet too
Removed the asbestos? They’re still installing more!
every house in the US can only be made out of the following materials, much like beer under the German Purity law
From what I heard, many of the Firefighters that served during the 9/11 crisis are suffering from cancer caused by asbestos spread from the World Trade Center being on fire. So it seems as late as 2001, buildings had Asbestos.
Jesus
We found out our home had asbestos in the floor and had to have it all taken out last summer.
We’ve lived here my whole life. I’m coming up on 40 in a few years. 🙃
AFAIK asbestos is not a problem at all until and unless you tear it apart. In that case it will be expensive to do it safely. But not a problem to use while the asbestos is encapsulated in the building materials.
