RE: 👁 Total Recall #1 💔 Asbestos 📣 Wonderful life-saving product gone wrong ❓ How & Why ❓ Let's take a look 👀
It's a funny thing, asbestos is alive and well, and I had this incorrect conclusion in my mind that it was outlawed. I thought it might have been one of those Mandela effects.
Then I looked into it more closely. Firstly, they banned some asbestos products, but not all. So those products that were banned, could have simply been re-manufactured under a different label.
Also, there was another outright ban, but I think that was overturned by the supreme court. I think they kept the overturning of that ban hush-hush, or didn't focus on it as much in the media, as they did the ban itself.
In some areas, some kinds of asbestos is regulated, and that's about the best we got, even know we know damn well we shouldn't be using the shit at all. I'm really sorry to hear about your father man.
Probably a few factors involved considering so many buildings are full of it. The twin towers were a great example but turned out great for Lucky larry! Leased, cleaned up and paid Billions in insurance all in just a couple months time.
Since when can you lease a building and collect the insurance if it is destroyed? that is like renting a large expensive house, insuring it for fire, and collecting full value of house when it burns down, screw the owner....LOL
So many others that need fixing or dismantling. I'm surprised someone in government hasn't opened a hazmat company with the only license to deal with asbestos then make it mandatory to clean it up.
I don't think it is widely used anymore because of the known dangers.
Cigarettes should probably be blog #2 because of that. Universally accepted as a killer product but not banned anywhere? Tobacco is 1 thing but the chemical soup it is drenched in is not ever discussed? But people go to jail for smoking pot because it is banned. Upside down world when we let others call the shots!
Cheers
If you ask me, it's one or the other.
That my friend is how we are supposed to see things and the system works very hard at keeping us scratching our heads at the least, scared to death is better for them.
So many questions that they can't answer so they want us in self-defense mode always. The most anyone ever does if anything is to ask the problem makers to fix the problems they created. LOL
We either step up to plate and solve our issues together outside of their scrutiny or they continue un-checked until we feel so distant from each-other we never can. Even small groups have corrected big problems. United we stand, divided we fall.
Cheers
