It used to be, not so much anymore. The big money was made in the 80's and 90's. Its pretty competitive now, especially around here.

In some states you can remove asbestos floor tiles and throw them right in the garbage. Non-friable asbestos materials (like floor tile) are not regulated by the EPA. Some states and local governments do regulate it tho. Illinois regulates all asbestos. Also there are no laws requiring you to remove asbestos. Just to maintain it.

If your house was built before 1980 you most likely have some form of asbestos in it. That goes for all buildings. You are around it everyday most likely. Yet you are not dead.

Asbestos can cause cancer from ingestion but I have never heard of any cases first hand. In fact some of the old heat and frost insulators used to eat it. The asbestos pipe insulation was made with magnesium silicate so some guys ate it if they had an upset stomach. But they all died from lung cancer, not stomach cancer.

I know dozens who died from it. It was widely used in construction prior to its ban. And the ban was only for the manufacture, there was still years worth of inventory that was sold and installed well into the early 80's. But these were guys who installed asbestos building products everyday, usually with a cigarette hanging out of their mouths. Just being around asbestos does not pose a health risk.

Everyone is laughing at you bro.

Ironically, one of my "black friends" send this to me about 5 minutes ago.

Yeah I know. Fucking petty.

Oh man, I actually lol'd loudly at this. The girl in the office next door just came in to see what I was laughing at. Her husband is a marine. She almost peed herself.

I totally agree.

I mean really, I am not a fan of the guy but if he is spending his money to do something worth while for kids who dont have it as good, who am i to complain? Everything doesnt have to be political.

We just did our entire kitchen. I was almost done when you came by with the fireworks. My wife spared no expense.

If he wasnt such a whack job I could defend him easier.

They dont like that anti war sentiment. Think of the anti Vietnam rallies of the 60's. Cops put dogs, batons, rubber bullets on those protestors. High profile anti war figures were put in jail and even shot. This is much easier. Ban them and discredit them.

This applies to him too.

So you dont like him so you want to publicly discredit his good efforts? You sound like a liberal.

Children can be assholes too. More abortions are welcome.

Like about Trump? His charity has nothing to do with that. And here you are trying to discredit that.

Look who owns all of the media sources. Id say there is some truth here...

Why are people trying to demonize this guy? He is putting his money where his mouth is and trying to do good. This isnt the Clinton Foundation.

I dont think there are many real conservatives now, thats why i call them neo-conservatives (aka Neocons). One of the reasons i think most tax reforms are bullshit. It is in fact the libertarians who think taxation is theft. If you need a "leader" to explain this to you then you are most likely NOT a conservative. Fact is republicans dont want guys like Ron Paul or Pat Buchanan in "leadership" roles because essentially republicans are NOT conservative in a fiscal sense. Definitely not republican congressmen. War is not a conservative practice. taxation is not a conservative practice. censorship of rights is not a conservative practice. Interference in the government of other countries is not a conservative practice. But these are all republican practices. Leaders lead by example, not talk one way and act another.

I doubt anyone here is a chemical engineer so not surprising the irrational reactions that are brought up when these topics are introduced. These components were used because of their properties that made them good choices for various applications. No doubt regulation has brought about alot of improvements in many of these instances. Many times science can improve upon them, but it hasnt been able to for all of them. They still use lead shielding in x ray rooms. It doesnt pose a threat to human safety in this application and actually is the safety precaution. Asbestos has properties that still make it the best choice for certain applications too.

Its called being conservative. Not surprise most dont subscribe.

His leadership skills are fine, most people just arent smart enough to hear what he is saying. If he just touted the usual "Rah Rah!" shit he would be an awesome leader. Pull some old phrases like "If youre not with us, you are with the terrorists!" or " You didnt build that!" or "Ask not what your country can do for you! Ask what you can do for your country!" Then he would be a party darling!

NO its not.
