Trump has supported use of asbestos and blamed the mob for its bad reputation.

    So who’s the prick here? Who’s the son of a bitch lobbyist who’s behind this? Like who’s the mass murderer lining people’s pockets?

        There’s a documentary somewhere ( this might be it ) about the town of Asbest, Russia (where like all the asbestos comes from) that interviews people who live there (they mostly mine asbestos). The miners are real macho guys who think asbestos is perfectly safe. The cancer rates in Asbest are really high, unsurprisingly.

          I can’t think of a clever pun for this, the ones I came up with were awful as best.

        Interesting. Though I could see almost any property owner wanting this, too. And also many manufacturers of random things. It used to be everywhere.

      Russia I believe is the primary provider of Asbestos.

      Also, these jokers basically believe anything that might have been pushed for protecting people is garbage because it ruins profits.
