The Biden administration has announced a proposal to “strengthen its Lead and Copper Rule that would require water systems to replace lead service lines within 10 years,” the White House said in a statement on Thursday.
According to the White House, more than 9.2 million American households connect to water through lead pipes and lead service lines and, due to “decades of inequitable infrastructure development and underinvestment,” many Americans are at risk of lead exposure.
“There is no safe level of exposure to lead, particularly for children, and eliminating lead exposure from the air, water, and homes is a crucial component of the Biden-Harris Administration’s historic commitment to advancing environmental justice,” the Biden administration said.
We currently have the freedom to drink lead tainted water, can you say the same?
Yes. 25% of domestic residences still use lead piping in the EU, compared to 10% in the US.
Europeans “Try Not To Talk Shit About Something You’re Actually Worse About” Challenge:
Impossible.
But it feeeels like they should be better! Don’t bring facts into the Europe self-suck contest
Do they even have people in wheelchairs in Europe? Would really suck ass for those people if true.

European here, how is that relevant?
We are shit at stuff, Americans are shit at stuff, your comment does not solve anything.
That explains a lot about the Republican party
It doesn’t, but lead gas and paint do.
Yeah! Tell that bad British person to shut up about my freedom water! They almost made me drop my crayon and I’m trying to find dot #6! I can’t wait to find out which shape these dots are going to make me draw… There’s seven dots and the word “stop” in the middle, so I’m thinking a school bus!
The funny thing is that England has more residences with lead pipes than the entire US.
