    Interesting. Though I could see almost any property owner wanting this, too. And also many manufacturers of random things. It used to be everywhere.

        Well he might say yes, but he might mean no
        Asbestos lead asbestos
        Sell him the coffee table, go boy go
        Asbestos lead asbestos
        It's chipboard quality, easy installment scheme
        And Patrick lives under the roundabout
        Nobody told him different
        Blows out the brake dust behind the caravan
        Asbestos lead asbestos
        If they're lucky they get put in White City
        Lead asbestos
        Times are hard and the kids ain't learning a thing
        Asbestos lead asbestos
        Except stealing and fighting
        Asbestos lead asbestos
        So they offer him a salary
        Asbestos lead asbestos
        National Health and a pension scheme
        Asbestos lead asbestos
        So he can lie in his bed while he bleeds to death

        Lead asbestos
        Lead asbestos
        Lead asbestos
        Lead asbestos
        Lead asbestos
        Lead asbestos
        Lead asbestos
        Lead as happy fun tune

        So we hand them rich-women-coffee-party handouts
        Asbestos lead asbestos
        Fill them full of sick cos someone's gotta eat it
        Asbestos lead asbestos
        And it won't be us because we're the smart ones
        Asbestos lead asbestos
        Motivated in a public school, we live on the west side
        Lead asbestos
        Equal opportunity, except if our pedigree dogs
        Don't like the smell of your children

        Lead asbestos
        Lead asbestos
        Lead asbestos
        Lead asbestos
        Lead asbestos
        Lead asbestos
        Lead asbestos
        Lead as happy fun tune

        They're stealing and fighting
        But we live on the west side

          There's a documentary somewhere ( this might be it ) about the town of Asbest, Russia (where like all the asbestos comes from) that interviews people who live there (they mostly mine asbestos). The miners are real macho guys who think asbestos is perfectly safe. The cancer rates in Asbest are really high, unsurprisingly.

            If you have any family members who still play the "I still think Trump is doing what's right" card because the media they consume has managed to spin every possible event as positive somehow, ask them how allowing a known cancer-causing chemical that directly financially benefits Russian corporate interests is beneficial to this country.

            If the media can find a way to convincingly spin this as a good thing, I'd be shocked. Not that shocked, but shocked nonetheless.

                                Russia I believe is the primary provider of Asbestos.

                                Also, these jokers basically believe anything that might have been pushed for protecting people is garbage because it ruins profits.

                                  They will come up with a shitty excuse, like saying its propaganda that it causes cancer and its democrats fault that this great material is no longer available.

                                  Even if they get cancer because if asbestos they will still defend this idiocrazy

                                  Because these people have lost all sense of critical thoughts. They argue not because they want to change their mind, they argue just to win.

                                      Especially they want to allow this in brake pads. You know a device that all but guarantees that shit will be breathed into all our lungs.
                                      You know since we live in a such car loving country.
