A ton. It’s a shame it’s taken this long. And it’s a shame there are folk here defending leaded fuel.

Nobody as far as I can tell is defending leaded fuel. Just explaining why there was initially a carve out. Having that carve out made sense at the time. Having it last until 2023 is malpractice.

Pretty sure no one's defending it, just explaining why it stuck around. It seems pretty unanimous "spraying lead everywhere is bad so leaded fuel is bad."
