I think that they need to change the name of their agency to better reflect what they have become. My suggestion is the Environmental Destruction Agency.
Well when it’s not his life that is at risk then it a “sure why not” approach. Flip flop strikes again! I guess this will be the new normal from now on!
There must be a connection between TFG and asbestos producers and/or the mesothelioma legal community (who’s been making bank off these lawsuits for decades).
I am all for the US removing the ban on Asbestos, but only if it is used exclusively in areas GOP/MAGA supporters work and live in. Added bonus, all products it would be used in would be banned in the EU and UK.
Uh. They could bring it back but no one will ever use it again. I worked on asbestos mass tort litigation. It bankrupted lots of companies and made Perry Weitz and other plaintiff lawyers a lot of money. Insurers paid billions. No one will touch it ever.
The overlooked issue is the suffering of owners of 140 closed American Asbestos mines. Meanwhile Russia, Kazakhstan and China are mining Asbestos like there's no tomorrow. By closing American mines, the US exported workers rights to have Mesothelioma. MAGA always finds a way to fix everything.
These look to be application-specific, asbestos-containing parts, like specialty gaskets. Chrysotile is dangerous, but you can contain it with adequate safety procedures. Compliance with industry standards is always where these things go South.
Dear @georgetakei.bsky.social and @hillaryclinton.bsky.social, my father-in-law died of “malignant pleural mesothelioma”, caused by asbestos exposure. It is an aggressive cancer that develops in the pleura—the thin layer of tissue surrounding the lungs and lining the inside of the chest cavity.
Ban the GOP from politics, their CULT Congress is unfit to serve. Make no
Mistake, the republicans in Congress and their hard right donors and tech thugs are at WAR with the Democrats, woke, DEI, Democracy, planet guardianship, empathy , and everyone who isn’t part of their ideology, in my view.
Pootins henchman in the WH is really pushing every possible button to destroy people and the country. Didn't get it yet for who he is working for and surely NOT in US people's interest.
Note; Hillary Clinton lost to Trump, she should not be someone you look to for advice.
There are enough voters who could not put up with her self entitled attitude and establishment bs that caused Trump 1, they did not learn and now we have Trump 2.
......Russia is the leading producer of asbestos, yielding 690 thousand metric tons in 2023. Kazakhstan and China closely follow with 210 and 200 thousand metric tons respectively. Russia's production increased moderately, maintaining its dominance.
What on God's green earth could be the justification for bringing back a known cancer-causing material we've done just fine without since the late 1970s/early 1980s? It's as if they are doing everything in their power to assure that working class Americans just go ahead and die already.
Well, when is Kennedy and his family are going to knibbel at asbestos house roofs to prove to the people of the US its safe and asbestos causes no cancer?
Trump said on multiple occasions that asbestos was a wonderful product and it was stupid to ban it.
The thing has a cancer named after it as it is so specific to the material, but sure, go ahead, authorise ot again 🤦🏻🤬
They might as well bring back leaded paint as well since that will in turn cut down on black mold. Perhaps states like Texas, West Virginia, Lousyana, and Misery can lead the nation with new schools having no vax, no fluoride, leaded paint, and asbestos insulation. Oh let's add formaldehyde too.
Over $30 BILLION dollars in liquid cash remains in the Trusts which were established for asbestos victims. Plus nonliquid assets. Look for Mesothelioma.
I said something about RFK to my 20-something kids. They did not know what I was talking about. My son blurted out, “Room For Knowledge.” I said, “Spot on!”
Not a quick enough death for him, it takes years to cause the damage to the lungs, which also is a very slow painful death, he’d die of old age before the disease got him.

They are setting records by sinking to new all-time lows DAILY!
Why don't we demolish them or remove the asbestos?
Because folks don't want to deal with loose asbestos; they deem it better to partition it off rather than make it airborne and try to contain it.
Schools, administration offices. Without significant taxation and building, there's no safely demolishing those places and building a replacement.
Which, at current, is not popular.
Condolences to all the sane, brilliant people in the US having to live through all this right now...
What the hell is wrong with these people?! Mentally retarded or just plain stupid?

Any company that uses asbestos deserves the penalties

That is how bad RFK Jr really is, going back to the 1700s for its Health Policy.

RFK Always Chickens Out
Like his boss
This activity is abhorrent.

It's profit by not speaking out against Trump.
Is someone joking.
