    They are also not fundamentally brain damaged by years of the inhalation of lead and then being irradiated by one of the worse nuclear disasters of all time.

      Actually only Gen Z will be free of the epigenetic effects. It actually takes 2 gens of not being exposed for a generation not to be affected.

        Literally the exact generation we’re talking about.

      I knew about the lead for Gen X. Are you talking about both Millennials and Gen Z not having been poisoned in their developmental years or are you referring to Boomers (and older), some of whom were irradiated and/or got hit by smog, etc. It sounds like you’re saying something also happened to Millennials otherwise, and I never heard about this.
