I have met a lot of dumb people who have amassed money and power. I have met people with bad intentions. I have met cowards and lazy people. (I have also met deserving people) I just don’t understand how we got here.

As to distance driven, read the Grapes of Wrath. Tom Joad’s drive to California has more in common with the Oregon Trail of the 1800s than getting your kicks on Route 66 of the 1950s/1960s.

That generation had lead pipes for drinking water in some places, and exposure to lead soldering or industrial lead in certain jobs. Not like the 60s/70s level of mass exposure.

In talking to my elders, I don’t think many things in their houses were painted. Some things outside were whitewashed, but the chemical industry was not nearly as prolific as it became post WW2

The greatest generation was born in the 1910s and 1920s. A much larger portion lived in non urban areas. If you didn’t live in NYC, there were like 10-100 cars in town when they were kids, and those cars did not drive far.

It is one thing to send out a press release / tweet about unspecified consequences for an unnamed officer. It is another thing to actually punish a real officer in real life.
