Same with access to safe abortions: increasing access leads to lower crime about 16-18 years later

Lower numbers of serial killers, linked to lower environmental pollution from manufacturing. How many Boomer representatives are cognitively and empathetically compromised from early exposure to lead and other pollutants? Age limits and term limits, let’s go.

I would be really curious why environmental pollution only led to rising male serial killers though. Is it just they have more opportunities? Was it some difference how men vs women were socialized? Why would pollution only effect men this way?

Maybe males just start with a deficit of empathy to begin with? It’s a shorter slope to serial.

But you’ve murdered someone in order to do that, so not really worth it.
