Ancient Roman lead is extremely valuable because it is needed for extremely sensitive scientific experiments. I don't know the specifics here, but it boils down to normal sources of lead being contaminated by post-nuclear radiation.
This is refered to as "low-background X" where X is the metal or material you need.
Low background lead, I believe, is used for detectors for things like particle accelerators and cosmic ray detectors (for things like neutrino detection arrays).
Oftentimes scientific communities will reach out to the finders of these sorts of artifacts and offer large sums of money to access even a fraction of the finding.

I don't know what you mean by a few lines. As a fellow software engineer I found it strange when you dropped this line.
"And I’ve just figured out the recent trend is not incidental after all. Considering the global trend for islamisation and regional isolation, the economies no longer need people who invent and create — it is not “cool” anymore (at least you should thank it’s not nazis again, despite the fact they were a viable alternative actually).".
Can you elaborate on what you are trying to imply here?
I stopped shortly after that because it feels like I was just reading someone who anger-dumped a rant on the Internet with no real purpose or even personal sense of quality.
I say this as genuinely kindly as I can, I think it is rather bizarre to go on a tirade about the "idiotic masses" and how simple they all are, while simultaneously having the post be full of typographic errata.
I want to give the benefit of the doubt here, but it's hard.

I want to support the USPS if I can. As it is a service I believe in (even though I know the postmaster general has been messing with things lately). Even if it means costing me a little bit more.

I would prefer to limit my usage of Amazon/other mega corps as much as is reasonably possible.
I understand the humor of the post, but I feel like I couldn't get into doing this myself.

All of the employees I see hired seem to be very happy with their jobs. The company seems to care a lot about pushing affordability and good will over pure profits.
I'm sure they have some skeletons, as all major corporations due, but I see them keeping food prices low and putting apartments above their mega stores. It's nice to see them push the envelope.

These people do not usually do more than words when it comes to this sort of stuff.
Look, I'm not trying to say Frey or the likes aren't trying sometimes. What I am saying is our system is so incredibly broken, we cannot get out of this mess through what we've been trying regularly.

Our nation is broken, there is no opposition party. I have called my senators, door knocked and canvassed, I've done more than I think is expected of the average citizen to help build a better community. Only to have a tyrant and his fascist thugs come into my home town and murder my neighbors in cold blood.
First right-wing lunatics murdered our senator; Hortman, and then Trump spread lies to imply Tim Walz had something to do with it.
Now, he (Trump) is sending his lowest degenerate thugs that are trigger happy to my town to murder an innocent mother.
My heart weeps for my community. I have a small son, I read she had a 6 year old boy and that the boy's father had passed away. Now he's an orphan. And for what?
What is the point?

On the one had, it platforms and normalizes what I view to be some pretty abhorrant views. Particularly in the United States. As others have pointed out (e.g., "enlightened centrism").
On the other hand, I do not have any faith in people I know and love from being pulled out of their cult of MAGA or the likewise unless systems like these are in place to hopefully expose them to more positive stories. It feels like it's not meant for someone like me, but the rather the people I think it would benefit are chugging Newsmax every night.
I know that may sound egotistical, but I don't and never will agree with things like what I.C.E. is doing in the United States. There just is not a way to "sanely" portray that, nor should it be.

It's definitely not quite the same as Lebensraum.
Since the implication of Lebensraum (in the context of the Nazi usage), was more so about invading other countries for living space. E.g., the Sudetenland etc.
While homelandmaxxing is just group speak for right-wing adjacent "insiders". (Similar to other things like gigachad having their origins in 4chan).
