Biden announces proposal to replace all lead water service lines in US within 10 years

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.

Huzzah! Another great move by the Biden administration that will probably be overlooked by most commenters, like his labor board appointments that led to the recent union resurgence were.

To be fair, a banana now costs $0.67 when it was $0.54 under Trump

How many Biden fellators does it take to screw in a light bulb?

Hooray Biden for doing less than the absolute bare minimum!!!!

Do you do literally anything besides endless serial shitposting about how much you hate Joe Biden? It's incessant. Get a grip, fucking weirdo.

Those who smelled it dealt it.

More than 2/3rds of democrats don’t think he should run. I have a feeling your head is in your ass

He's doing a great job. He's just too fucking old to go another four years.

But I'm certainly not going to pass on Biden to vote for a dumbass tyrant that's just about as old.

I'll look for someone to vote for in the primary, if there is one.

I'm afraid your opinion of the bare minimum is not the universal definition of it. You shouldn't be surprised when people differ with you on that.

When everything's below the bare minimum, it becomes a meaningless metric. You'll still have to rank the available options, and there can still be a huge difference between those options.

(I copied one of my comments verbatim here to save time)


Oh, yeah. He hasn't kept any promises. None at all.

You don't have to like him or his goals, but please refrain from lying about him. It's bad form.
