Russia is the world’s largest producer of asbestos, with an annual production of around 630,000 million metric tons in 2023.
Why settle for the knock off asbestos when you can have the original?
I swear to god I was reading a comment on lemmy not 2 months ago that was joking about them bringing back asbestos. C’mon, don’t be shy. Which one of you jinxed it?
Trump already tried it, or at least dip the toe, on the first term. It was just a question of when.
Might have been me. Looks like leaded gas is back on the menu boys.
Quick, only think of good things that they banned. No, no, no! Not Lawn Darts!
“Buckyballs” and other small magnet fidget toys. (For adults only of course!)
Bold of you to assume that a large number of adults are smart enough not to eat them. Just look at the Marines…
Kinder Surprise eggs.
Leaded pipes were pretty great too!
Chlorofluorocarbons made the best hair sprays, why not bring those back? The ozone layer is leftist propaganda anyway
Perfectly timed to draw attention awsy from Iran-Israel-(US)
Make Asbestos Great Again?
Make America (have) mesothelioma again!
I am required by my state to complete 2hrs of asbestos safety training a year, and i dont even work with it directly. It is crazy dangerous and my jaw is on the floor that this is real.
What’s next? Lead? Arsenic? Radium?
Sure! Clown world! JUST WHEN YOU THINK THEY CAN NOT GET ANOTHER CLOWN IN THAT CAR, BAM! ASBESTOS!
HA! Quebec will be quite pleased, or horrified.
“What is the absolute dumbest fucking thing we can do this afternoon? I know!”
Remember kids, congress could put a stop to this tonight. And by “this”, I mean the trump presidency. Just think about that for a while.
Another gift to Russia. Americans realize by now that Russia absolutely controls Trump, right?
Trump’s support for asbestos has been welcomed in Russia, a primary asbestos supplier to the US. In 2018, a Russian asbestos company began marketing asbestos with Trump’s face and a seal reading “Approved by Donald Trump, 45th President of the United States.”
Fuck’s sake.
I mean, it’s been obvious for over a decade. When he came out warning about some obscure country that people should be wary of, and nobody (including him, to be clear) has ever heard of this “threatening” country or faction or whatever, with absolutely zero context or relevance to the US, and just happens to be in the crosshairs of Russia…. Yeah.
I am searching for this crazy-ass irrelevant unscripted tangent he went on, but when I search for “trump russian talking points opposing country”, even tossing “first term” in there, I am inundated with all of the recent talking points he has been making. This wasn’t Ukraine, by the way. I wish I remembered, but I have better things to do than dig through the historic tire fire that is this administration.
I guess other countries won’t need to defend themselves against the US in the future because Trump is actively trying to kill off more Americans than any other country could.
I did not have “asbestos returns” on my 2025 bingo card. What’s next, DDT?
Putting my money on CFCs, he probably thinks 80s hair sprays were way better
Wait wait - radium watches.
Freon baby! I want my shit to be cold again!
Halon to the rescue!
Naww… there’s way worse
Leaded gas, arsenic green, Prussian blue, and mercury in everything.
Agent Orange
Don’t get any asbestos get the best asbestos.
First, do harm.
Have to generate as much cancer as possible! The MAGA death cult in action.
And then cut healthcare, both public and veteran
send him in
Wild to think this guy might literally have killed me
He fires vax experts, another pandemic hits, we scramble but it’s too late… maybe you die, maybe me, maybe us both.
