It killed him in his 50’s.

After a terrible 18 months, he refused all further treatment or care, and died three weeks later, surrounded by his wife and dogs at home.

He died the day before Thanksgiving and two weeks after my dad passed away. It was a hard year.

Ty,SheltieLover. 💙

So sorry you had such a tough year.

40 or so years ago I worked on monitoring big removal projects. That stuff is scary. It gets airborne and then it doesn’t take any great exposure before mesothelioma may develop. Smoking makes your odds much much worse, so maybe it’s time to repeal all those smoking restrictions while he’s at it.

Yes, let's put lead back in paint.

Let's take seat belts out of cars

Let's make candy cigarettes too.

THIS ADMINISTRATION IS THE ENEMY OF US.

Let's bring that back, too. And to take care,of the flies and maggots around the rotting corpses from the poisoned gasoline...what could be better than that old standbye, DDT?

That was announced recently.

“Trump will be on board for this, as long as we give him a big check!”.

But....

I've seen a lot of patients with mesothelioma in my time working in legal support recording their depositions. This is a horrible disease and completely preventable with banning the substance.

I’m hoping our next large protest is dingdong the witch is dead.

For the purpose of making money and their cruelty.

. . . from the federal government to Trump's cronies.

comes from Russia. Surprise, surprise.

Another “surprise, surprise”.

Russia is the largest producer of asbestos, with an annual output of around 630,000 metric tons in 2023. That's more than double the output of the second-largest produced (Kazakhstan).

Trump is an absolute effing STOOGE for Putin. He will trash the safety and health of Americans in a heartbeat if it benefits Vladimir in some way.

America’s biggest asbestos mine was in Butte. I don’t recommend ever going there.

Many people in the town came down with mesothelioma.

Butte is the location of the nation's deepest copper strip mine.

WR Grace was mining vermiculite, which is a rock that gets fluffy if it’s heated up enough, in Libby. At one point 80 percent of the world’s supply of this very useful mineral came from there. This stuff has millions of uses - insulation, fireproofing, plant growing medium…they even use it as fake snow in the movies. What no one realized until half the town came down with mesothelioma is the Libby mine is heavily contaminated with white asbestos. Since you can’t clean the asbestos from the vermiculite, they had no choice but to close the mine.

Butte is also an asbestos source. I suspect everything east of the Idaho state line has asbestos deposits. There might be some in the Silver Valley, but the ore Hecla is looking for formed below where asbestos is so there are no issues with it in the Lucky Friday and Sunshine mines.

covid, smallpox, cholera and typhoid? Like Senator Ernst told us, everybody dies. What's the problem?

Russia is the sole exporter of asbestos

Remember when russia stamped Krasnov's picture to the pallets of asbestos. The article says it was just a stunt but it did make the news.

Of course Krasnov wants to make sure russia is protected.

And some actually like it.

This has gone on far too long.

After all, who cares about the already-born. It's fetuses that matter in MAGAworld.

where the tumor grows to the size of a basketball on the victim's chest and the victim suffocates to death. Fuck all these evil, criminal Assholes! Vote all of them out of office and to Hell and gone!

he was in the Navy and served aboard a Navy destroyer for most of WW2.

You could SEE the asbestos that was lodged in his lung on the xray. By the time it was discovered, it was too late to do anything.

Fuckers!

Many older commercial buildings still have asbestos. They can be money pits for investors and developers. Or, if asbestos is deregulated it can be a windfall. Buy them cheap now and strip out the asbestos without all of those pesky enviromental and safety regulations. They know the deregulation would be temporary. $$$

Maybe he found a YouTube video where a self-taught scientist talks about the health benefits of asbestos that “they” don’t want you to know about.

Our small town has pristine water but I won't drink it. The main water line that supplies my water contains asbestos. The yearly Municipal water report showed our water has levels of asbestos above allowable amounts.

Our town is starting to replace our lines, starting with the wealthy side of town.

Make America Toxic Again

Trump is insane, he and his tribe have to go before they kill us all...

My best friend. Sorry for your loss too.

I loved my mom but we were never close. She lived to 96 he died at 75 in 2000. I was just happy he didn't have to see Bush and Trump. That would have killed him just from that. He was a firm democrat who watched hours of news a night. Watched all the watergate stuff. I used to watch it with him as an early teen.
