Reminds me of a program in Homestuck. It's code that iterates until the author/universe dies, then executes some unknown code. The coding language is ~ath, or TilDeath.

There actually is a huge push to replace ALL lead service lines in the next few years. Also the EPA has extra funding for treatment of "emerging contaminants" which includes PFAS. Republicans are trying (and succeding) to reduce this funding.
Children of Men would be a sci-fi without any significant technological improvements. Ender's Game does have the Ansible, but it's more a plot device than anything.
You need empathy to moderate. What other reason is there to do it? You want to make the community a better place by keeping things civil and on-topic. You also need to be able to level with people about their criticisms and concerns.
