    I cannot think of any reason they would do this unless they were just actively trying to kill people. We’ve known that asbestos is bad for 100 years and they finally banned the last kind of it very recently. This doesn’t even make sense economically as it’s not even in high demand. It would be cheaper and more economically viable to leave it exactly where it is. Next thing you know they are gonna start putting lead back into gasoline for literally no reason besides “fuck you.”

      Lead back in gas isn’t that far fetched. I have heard older folks complain about the fact that leaded gas isn’t a thing anymore because “it keeps the engine cleaner”.

        And it’s still used in aviation gasoline, specifically 100LL which is used in many piston-engine aircraft.

      My stab in the dark is to make asbestos lawsuits worthless.

      If there is money to be made or saved by the capital class, you bet your ass Trump will make it happen.

    PRISTINE Asbestos will BRING BACK JOBS to the US and KEEP its citizens WARM. So much for global WARMING if we need to return to GOOD OLD ASBESTOS

    Installation of blowers around the white house and sprinkling with asbestos dust around the clock.
