    Jesus fuck.

    The researchers calculated that at its worst, people born in the mid-to-late 1960s may have lost up to six IQ points

    I was born in the mid-1960s and have a PhD. I really could have used those 6 IQ points in grad school. Shit, I could use them now.

        Like Fox News repeatedly told them to be afraid of cities and immigrants?
