True. Yet I have 4 very close associates that didn’t last past 65 from asbestos and there’s a town in the north end of my home state that mined lead that was condemned as a Super Fund site because of lead contamination. The taxpayer’s money and company funds for cleanup is staggering. I won’t even discuss agent orange and other 💩. The worst events in history were started with the best intentions sometimes. Your roof may last for ever and your plumbing and paint. You die early and your kids grow up mentally ill from playing in a contaminated yard. If its to good to be true? Bend over, drop your drawers cause here it comes. BOHICA
Was it a jury that “determined” that asbestos was the cause of death? I have never seen asbestos listed as a cause of death on a death certificate, typically specified is a disease, not a substance, and many things including genetics can lead to lung problems. My grandfather worked in a steel mill most of his life and died of emphyzema. A jury, had we gotten a lawyer, would have been convinced to “find” that his illness was caused by exposure to stuff at the mill, because that is where the deep pockets were. But other things likely contributed to his illness, such as smoking early in life, and working in the engine room of a coal-fired battleship, and working on the railroad, and exposure to the chemicals in my grandmother’s beauty shop. What a jury is persuaded to accept as truth is often as not a far cry from it, and can be totally false, like the emotional juries that John Edwards was able to persuade with teary-eyed bullshnit that doctors caused Down’s Syndrome by screwing up during the deliveries of babes.
