A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.

Our Philosophies:

All workers must be paid a living wage for their labor.
Income inequality is the main cause of lower living standards.
Workers must join together and fight back for what is rightfully theirs.
We must not be divided and conquered. Workers gain the most when they focus on unifying issues.

Our Goals

Higher wages for underpaid workers.
Better worker representation, including but not limited to unions.
Better and fewer working hours.
Stimulating a massive wave of worker organizing in the United States and beyond.
Organizing and supporting political causes and campaigns that put workers first.

Formula One hasn't used leaded gasoline since the 90's.

The fuel they use is actually very similar to the gas that anyone can buy at the pump.

this article only states that their are restrictions on lead in the fuel which is true, they set a maximum allowable amount that varies on the year and host country.

Here's something that you might find annoying:

According to the EPA 61 FR 3832 - Prohibition on Gasoline Containing Lead or Lead Additives for Highway Use

EPA has historically defined unleaded gasoline as gasoline that is produced without the use of any lead additive and that contains no more than 0.05 gram of lead per gallon. EPA interprets section 211(n) this way for the following reasons. The regulatory definition of ``unleaded gasoline'' also contains a cap on the amount of phosphorus, see 40 CFR 80.2(g), but the phosphorus cap is not relevant to the discussion of section 211(n). Unleaded gasoline that was produced without lead additives may pick up trace amounts of lead as it passes through refinery and transport systems that had previously contained leaded gasoline.

This is the same limit Formula 1 has for its fuels. Formula 1 fuel is unleaded fuel.
