Not long ago I saw some right leaning mouth piece touting the benefits of using DDT. Something about it isn't bad in small amounts and works better than other pesticides. DDT bioaccumulates in an organism.
Then all the republicans would be in the streets munching asbestos like popcorn in their desperate need to performatively revolt against an imagined oppression.
There would be, don't give these people ideas, they will bring it back, with lead, mercury, uranium crayons and glow-in-the-dark everything. These crazy POS will do it.
Honestly some nerds should get on deepfaking RFK saying asbestos helps remove deadly vaccine substances from the body when ingested in milligram doses daily. See if it spreads out and Darwinisms some of the population.
Trump pressed for reopening the mines in NC during his first term wanting to make the US a producer of it again despite almost nobody on the planet using it.
They used to make entire suits out of the stuff, and they would be wearing them, because wearing suits is more important to them than being intelligent...
Asbestos kills working people; the ban on it makes wealthy people slightly less rich. This is unacceptable to many of them. In the UK, many Conservatives have campaigned for years to reverse the ban, calling it excessive. What they mean is that working people's lives don't matter.
Correct! It's a very affordable and useful building material.
Terrific cost saver.
Coal miners died in their 30's of black lung living in penury , and those who individually use the most electricity in society are squillionaires with multiple mega mansions of laughably excessive square footage.
My grandad started down the mine at 14. He died of black lung in his 40s, when my mum was a girl. The mine owners, one of the richest families in the North of England, had opposed every safety improvement.
On my grandad's death, they sent my grandmother £5 compensation & an eviction notice.
Geezuz. Thats what I mean when I say, there's people,"conservative" parties of the anglosphere ARE the Whigs , that "class" of people everywhere the British left their indelible mark.
The two party system is a nod to the fact, if the Lord's were left in pure charge of things=total revolution.
NO administration in American history, NOT Jackson w/ Indian removal, NOT Lincoln in Merryman, NOT FDR over the New Deal, NOT Truman in Youngstown, NOT Nixon over the tapes,NOT Bush with Guantanamo, has openly defied a court order like this, much less one unanimously endorsed by the Supreme Court.
But of course he is.
Devolution of the stupidest greedyest fascist kind.
Hitler would not have done this; he was extremely environmentally progressive, and declared many national Park (equivalents) as essentially sacred.
Tmurphff wants to clear fell and mine the lot.
"What would Hitler do?" 🤔😔
I’m really wanting them to believe gravity is a big physics conspiracy, and they could fly after jumping off a cliff if they just disbelieved gravity enough.
And to hold onto their salaries, s-load of bennies, and jobs that require less actual work. This is true from the local level to the top.
If they worked diligently to fix their party, 24/7, with everyone working at it, it would never be fixed or trustworthy enough for me to ever vote Republican.
DDT, Unleaded petrol, CFCs... Even tobacco - with its fight for the "right to smoke" funding of groups like FOREST (in the UK). All would be condemned as "wokery".
Of course he would, insulation layers would be a huge cost building a high rise. Huge cost.
Asbestos=in his mind at least, he m makes more money on all the trump hotels he plans to build , presumably in his next life.
He has always been criminally insane. He is a COMPULSIVE thief & liar.
Same thing with fluorocarbons and the ozone layer. Today, some nut case would have a huge following on X denying the science of ozone depletion, and the MAGA cult would be talking about “beautiful clean” gaseous fluorocarbons.
Lead has a similar antiauthoritarian cultism. You can't watch someone solder on youtube without a passive aggressive mumbling about lead solder being better and totally safe.
I have a vague my father grumbling about the banning of asbestos when I was very young, something about it "not being necessary." I don't think he holds that view now, but I distinctly remember feeling uncomfortable that he didn't know how dangerous it was.
If there was a chemical that was 100% proven to cause cancer in all humans within 10 days and someone tried to ban it, a republican somewhere would be very angry.

I believe they've changed the name of the town since then.
Many "smart" people would say the words: "well, actually..."
Isn't it funny how what we think of as human psychology seems to be in lockstep with physics?
“For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.”
...let's ban asbestos.

It seems as if ALL their constituents have been eating paint chips their entire lives, and they seem just "fine"....right?

asbestos holds red dye well, so the new hats would be a big hit with the brainless crowd.

PS, also tell them that eating brown rice is banned, since it just came out that it has a lot of arsenic in it...
They exist only to go against anything that makes sense or is important to other Americans. They are a cult of dishonorable fascists.

"Oh we need it to insulate our homes"
IT saves energy
(Of course it kills people rather well but hey... What's few (thousands) dead people matter.
Might still wanna lift it🤷🏻
