I’m a little surprised Trump hasn’t signed the “Asbestos Fibers Are Our Friends” Executive Order.
Trumpers would start eating asbestos for breakfast just to pwn the libz
lead too.
There’d be motherfuckers on TikTok snorting lines of asbestos
Contracting silicosis to own the libs. Then use some sort of donkey enema as a cure.
My country banned smoking in all public indoor spaces almost 20 years ago. As a smoker at the time I thought it was ridiculous, felt that my rights were being violated and thought it would never last. The quality of life improvement it made is massive. Today I vape rather than smoke but wouldn’t dream of doing either indoors or being where someone else is. It was 100% the right move. Not quite the same thing but you sometimes can’t really understand the benefits of an alternative to the status quo, even if you understand it logically.
I was surprised to find out that people also were against seatbelts. Weird
Implication is that there are things about as bad as asbestos that should be banned, but aren’t.
I love two towns over from Manville, which was the asbestos capital of America, and I can unequivocally say those morons would vote to bring asbestos back if they could.
We DoN’t NeEd VaCcInEs We’Ve GoT aSbEsToS!
Back when asbestos was banned, everyone trusted the government. Nobody trusts the government anymore because of its constant foreign wars, corrupt candidates, and human rights abuses. We cannot do things like mandate vaccines and ban cars if the very government that would enforce that ban is this tyrannical and shitty.
Didn’t they have asbestos shovelling competitions? 1962 Right around the time major studies confirmed the concerns from a decade earlier:
1960s: Studies, particularly by Dr. Irving Selikoff in the U.S., showed clear links between asbestos exposure and mesothelioma, lung cancer, and other illnesses, prompting greater public health concern.
