@jeffjarvis But seriously, you thought the Greenfell Tower was a mistake?
All these pesky regulations to protect the poor cost the super rich unnecessarily profits.
It's a win-win. Cheaper materials can be used. So more profits initially when exploiting the poor.
And even better for the US healthcare criminal syndicate. Cancer is a nice illness that keeps giving to everyone, and at the end leaves an insolvent family.
What's not to like?
@jeffjarvis Yes, Jeff. They really, really do. A physically ill and dying society is so much easier to control. I actually thought food might be in short supply by summer, but it seems that it will be winter before real food shortages arrive.
But with no health inspections, we’ve already gone mostly vegan. Halal or kosher meat is still a treat because I trust those inspections. No dairy, though.
Interesting fact: When did the first doctor notice asbestos caused lung problems?
Two-thousand-fucking-years-ago. A Roman doctor noticed the slaves in the asbestos mines all died young of lung disease.
*sigh*
Back in my grad school days, we had a joke about not starting one’s literature review with a Pliny the Elder citation…because we knew someone who did just that.
But in the case of asbestos and lung cancer, it just might be appropriate
Yes. They are actively trying to cull as many of us as they can, as quickly as they can.
