      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.

                  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.

                    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.

                    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.

                            Oh yes, time for a the Wizard of Oz reboot. Might as well bring out the stimulants and toxic make-up while they are at it.

                              Every republican is a dumb sumbitch. There's no sense of common good in these people. Like, I'll be in the store or something and just about everybody I see, I often wonder if they voted for anybody in that shitstain party of sadistic, lying, greedy, racist, fake bible thumping narcissists and I just get so damn disgusted if I let myself think about it. These people are from the same party of people who re-elected the sheriff of Ulvade, Texas who did fucking nothing while their own children were being slaughtered. They beat the other republicans that were running for it. There's no reasoning with that kind of brutal insanity. It is fucking inhuman. That is unreachable. You're lucky if they're just ignorant. Ignorant is a transient condition. That... is not...

                                  I mean, what's wrong with the sintered metal brake pads that have been the industry standard for longer than I've been alive?

                                    All true. I just don't know what we can do about them though. Some can be reached, many are too far gone.
