    As I’ve understood it, the problem is primarily for the people having to manufacture products using it, and at rest it’s supposed to be inert.

      Don’t forget about when it’s time to un-make it.

      Tearing down old building or tiles containing asbestos is also a huge issue.

        So many people were exposed to asbestos dust in New York when the world trade centre towers were destroyed by terrorists

          lol terrorists. I see them as victims in a war this country started. So by proxy, we’re the terrorists. What a stupid fucking word!

            I’m calling them by their methods not their politics

            One is a terrorist when one attempts to alter a country by attacks attempting to terrorise the population

            You do recall that they destroyed office buildings with airliners

              I was alive to experience that yes. I’m willing to concede we’re all terrorists further emphasizing the ridiculousness of the word. And thanks for patronizing me! Do you recall what we had done to them in their countries?
