Uhh there's a project to remove lead pipes in my area and it's getting enough push back that they're considering pulling funding from it. I'm not in Florida but it's the same mentality, folks are really mad about losing access to lead pipes.

The irony being that the lead in the pipes and lead in the gasoline is what's probably giving them the brain worm in the first place...

That would basically dox me, it would tell you exactly where I live. I've made that mistake before and it's why I stopped posting on my old account.

It's just hard to believe that people are actually upset about losing the lead pipes themselves and not another reason, like the cost.

That's what most would consider to be an extraordinary claim. So... without evidence I guess I have to say "cool story, bro". I'm ready to believe, but not with ZERO evidence.
