As Biden's EPA bans asbestos, here's your reminder that Trump actively sought to bring asbestos back — possibly as a favor to Russia, the world's largest asbestos producer.
@rbreich years ago when I first saw this picture of that pallet of cancer with a sitting US president face stamped on the side ... I thought no way that's real ... But I was wrong
Trump also sought to promote asbestos to avoid regulations that would require its prompt, certified, and safe removal from the many buildings he owned.
Given asbestos's then ubiquity in the building (and automotive and consumer products) industries, Trump's properties would have contained vast amounts of it.
It would have cost him millions to properly remove it. Not doing it right - an assured outcome with Donald Trump - would have cost Trump and his tenants much more.
omg you just know someone somewhere is working a law where all those 'unwanted babies' that end up in care (not all, just a subset) will end up as parts on the market.
