Kevin Drum is banging his "It's the lead, stupid" drum on this: https://www.motherjones.com/kevin-drum/2019/03/ecuador-phased-out-leaded-gasoline-in-1997-guess

  It probably is. Lead seriously messes with humans. It likely crashed Rome, and the pattern of "ban leaded fuels => crime rate falls 15 years later" has been demonstrated in multiple nations.

    Kevin Deum has made a really solid argument for his lead hypothesis. He points to a solid bank of data, as well as peer reviewed sources. Further, I haven’t seen anyone point to studies refuting the hypothesis. What I don’t understand is why Drum is the only one who seems to believe this theory? Is it just because I’m missing the research that has pretty much disproven it?
