I’m a little surprised Trump hasn’t signed the “Asbestos Fibers Are Our Friends” Executive Order.
lead too.
It is actually astonishing it took so long for lead to be banned in the US. Even Ben Franklin railed against the use of lead in daily life and he was someone who lived and died in the 18th century.

TY!
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.
Implication is that there are things about as bad as asbestos that should be banned, but aren’t.
Trumpers would start eating asbestos for breakfast just to pwn the libz
I wish they would
There already is lol.
Contracting silicosis to own the libs. Then use some sort of donkey enema as a cure.
Is that giving a donkey an enema or preforming an enema with a donkey or is it utilizing a donkey to perform an enema…
I think it means using an enema made for donkeys for yourself.
There’d be motherfuckers on TikTok snorting lines of asbestos

And MAGAs would grind it, bake it, and eat it. Just to own the libs.
I was surprised to find out that people also were against seatbelts. Weird
My mother in law would complain about wearing one while I was driving her around, so I’d just refuse to move the car until she either got out or put the seatbelt on. She wears it without complaining now. I give no fucks if people like wearing it or not, when they’re in my car, I’m responsible for their safety and I won’t have their blood on my hands because they think it’ll never happen to them.
Oh yeah. “You’re safer being ejected from the car in a crash. My cousin’s ex husband’s sister’s daughter survived a crash that way!”
Those people have never seen someone who has been hit by an air bag. It’s not a gentle pillow it’s a punch to the face and if you aren’t strapped in you’re probably gonna bounce around a bit off the interior.
Yeah, one of my grandpas always chafed against wearing one, especially the part that comes across the chest. He was always “forgetting” to put it on, and holding it down so it wouldn’t like press against him.
Meanwhile I don’t even think about the seatbelt. Actually it feels wrong if I forget to put it on for some reason.
“ding… ding… ding…”
they do make it significantly harder to grab items from the back seats when at red lights, especially if they are the bs locking type.
They do. But for that just pull over and do what you’ve got to do. Stop trying to multitask while you’re in command and control of a device that can wipe out an entire family in a split second of distraction.
Oh god yes. They all literally invented a fake illness called “seat belt burn.” I kid you not. And this was the 80s before commercial Internet, so it spread organically.
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 don’t generally mind the smoking bans, but I wish there existed some indoor spaces where it could be done. They are very limited and mostly exclusive.
Smokers can never smell themselves so they don’t think it’s a big deal.
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.
Also, there are people who make money (or even just fake internet points) off of telling gullible people the opposite is true.
They should be held accountable for what they claim online.
I’m SO glad I live in a city with a decently functioning tram system. If something like that was proposed today, there’d be thousands of people complaining about being forced out of their cars or the city losing its charm or whatever nonsense.
Texas just defunded their rail project
