    The lead paint is still there and landlords are still profiting off of buildings covered in it without sufficient penalties to stop.

    I just don’t think it’s nearly as big a problem as it sounds like it is- I’m not saying people should go out and buy one, but it’s almost certainly not going to harm you, so you don’t need to throw one out if you already have it*

    Edit: maybe do throw it out because of the nickel

      Yeah that’s just a separate issue. Obviously it should be addressed it’s just not relevant. We can care about multiple things.

        Of course we can, and again, I’m not trying to get people to buy them. I just don’t think the lead’s really something people need to worry about. Hell, it sounds like the nickel would actually be the big problem with these cups.
