  It’s like they’re just trying to find all of the most abhorrent things they can do. Even neglecting the health concerns, aren’t there better materials than asbestos at this point anyway?

    The cruelty is the point. Some people just enjoy making others suffer. That IS the source of the pleasure for those types. How the suffering us achieved isn’t really all that relevant.

    Well, Trump also thinks that asbestos is perfectly safe and that the mafia has invented its negative health effects.

  Asbestos is absolutely amazing. It’s super durable, fireproof, an amazing insulation for heat and electricity, it’s abrasion resistant and you can just dig it out of a hole basically for free.

  The only teeny tiny downside is that it brutally and painfully kills tens of thousands of people every year, even decades after it was banned.
