True! If you want full health care, 55 and out pension and easy job and no chance of being fired, get government employment. Otherwise you'll have to work for a living. ;-)
It may be good to have played with mercury when young. It may have killed off some of the stupid brain cells. Look at what we are producing for children now. Each generation seems to be dumming up. AOC wants to do away with airplanes and replace them with trains, replace all the buildings with new ones for the 'green deal'.
I am old enough to have the mercury fillings and played with mercury, rode bicycles without helments and learned cursive writing. Never did eat a Tide Pod. oh< thats right , there were no Pods around while growing up. Maybe we should ban those.
Nothing new about that, the stupid hippys were into that stupid shit in the 60s.
Me too, but no one could ever read my writing |-(
While I never ate one of those, I did manage to bite a garden snail. Pre school, walking around in the garden after breakfast with a piece of toast and marmalade in one hand and the snail in the other hand. Managed to munch on the snail instead of the toast.
Okay, I found a better source. This is from Pub Med (Nat Inst of Health)
Mercury Toxicity and Treatment: A Review of the Literature

Most human exposure results from fish consumption or dental amalgam
Here is a weird one you never would have though about:
Increased mercury release from dental amalgam restorations after exposure to electromagnetic fields as a potential hazard for hypersensitive people and pregnant women.

Although it was previously believed that the amount of mercury released from dental amalgam cannot be hazardous, new findings indicate that mercury, even at low doses, may cause toxicity.
Studies Evaluate Health Effects of Dental Amalgam Fillings in Children

The New England scientists also found that children with amalgam fillings had increased mercury in their urine.
So if I was a betting man, I would posit that the mercury does leach out.
And if you think about it, the purpose of the mercury is to form a eutectic alloy with a low melting / plastic point so they can stick to filling into your teeth. If the mercury did not leach out, your fillings would stay soft.
What we actually see is you sticking your fingers in your ears, closing your eyes, and mindlessly chanting 'nyah, nyah, can't hear yah' just like 2 year olds do.
But clearly were too stupid to understand any of it.
How odd that we don’t actually see mercury amalgam fillings pushed out of the tooth the first time someone eats something solid.
Separate matter entirely to whether the mercury amalgam filling only solidifies after the mercury amalgam has leached out of the filling.

Irrelevant to your stupid claim that mercury amalgam fillings are only solid after the mercury has leached out.
Total BS. The mercury does not leave the amalgam for the material to harden. I guess you failed that course just like all the other science courses. If it did, people would get a high dose of mercury with each filling, it's about 50% mercury.
And dental fillings are an amalgam that does not rely on melting, so why are you talking about eutectics and solder?
Geeez, how can one person be so wrong on so many things?
Mr. T never ceases to amuse. I've never seen anyone here come up with one whopper like this after another.
He reminds me of a big dummy in high school who kept saying that matter can neither be created nor destroyed. Despite all attempts to explain to him that this only applies to non-nuclear reactions, it was impossible to educate him. The simple minded need to have their world kept very simple.
Agree overall and solder doesn't leach out as part of the intended process for it to solidify, but the lead in it can leach out in tiny amounts over time, which is why solder for plumbing was reformulated. Mr. T is so mixed up here, it's hard to figure out what he's even thinking.
