        1981 interest rates: 18%.
        1980s homicide rate 10.2/100000, today: 6.3/100000
        (Violent crime follows this trend)

        Lead. Lead everywhere

            Growing up in the 80s, climate was a crisis, it was just ignored, so we are here now, with interest. We (society)did just a little to deal with the hole in the ozone layer, then punted.

          Asbestos carpets, and asbestos-structured paint for fucks sake. Imagine how many peoppe sanded down asbestos paint…
