Keep in mind that the consequences of asbestos use are almost exclusively shouldered by the institutionally marginalized. Asbestos insulation that is safely tucked away inside the wall, for example, does not pose a significant threat to the people who live or work inside that building. It is the plumbers, carpenters, electricians, and other workers who need to open up walls who will be exposed to the carcinogen.
The EPA is permitting the use of known lethal building materials because the use of these materials only threaten the lives of people the ruling class already considers disposable.
What the whole actual fuck
EPA is now allowing asbestos back into manufacturing
