This is another piece of information that we have not heard about. Thanks, Jim, for keeping us posted and on track. Two responses come to mind: One, ask Biden to use the power of his office (executive order) to stop this criminal corporate gravy train. And two, NEVER NEVER NEVER EVER vote for Trump or any other corrupt candidate (Democrat or Republican) who is known to be on the payroll of Big Biz.
My father died 30 years ago from malignant mesothelioma, which is caused solely by asbestos. He was not a firefighter but an engineer who worked in electrical-power generating plants.
It’s hard to believe that people are still dying and we still haven’t banned it.
It's always the right time to do what's right, a man of great integrity and leadership qualities remarked. There's no hope for the misguided missile and damned fool Trump, but Biden and his competent staff should hop to it! Thanks for continuing to ring the good bells, Jim!! Asbestos health issues have been well known for half a century or more. As usual, Greed trumps sane public policy. That's what MAGA is really all about. Truth, justice and well being of all is way down the list...
Thanks Jim. There are so many instances when money rules our elected officials to the detriment of the people. We, The People, need to wake up and root out the "government representatives" who are selling us out. We need to know who voted for or against every bill. Otherwise they will keep making our lives worse. "When money speaks, the truth is silent." - Road sign in Thailand.
Jim, Thanks for all your in-depth work. Why is it that the elite treats workers so poorly in this country. Yet, expects firefighters to save their property and them. We talk a good game. But our stats are awful. What is it going to take to change the direction of this country? We need to take the money out of politics and shorten elections to 6 weeks like normal countries have.
WOW! I thought asbestos was banned years ago! My father worked around it and I think it eventually killed him-lung or throat cancer. He worked in a Navel shipyard in Boston-during WWII
It seems that is so many ways we are SO far behind the rest of the civilized world!
Let them take as long as they like, just make those who manufacture and sell it responsible for the medical bills of those who suffer from its use. I think they would stop very quickly.
It's NEVER too late to do the right thing! Saving lives is what it's all about, NOT making money! When in doubt, four simple words, universally applicable, "DO THE RIGHT THING"!

I thought asbestos was banned decades ago. That shows how much I know.
It also shows how much we are not supposed to know. We have been hornswoggled by Big Biz again!

Dear Jim, As usual, you go to the heart of a matter, and, succinctly clarify: “Who does it benefit?” Thanks for your huge contribution. Judy Scarfpin

Disappointing to hear Biden not demanding his two year deadline for the ban, but ending up agreeing to 12 years.
It's actually no surprise.
So why can't Biden say to the EPA, "Listen, when I said two yers, I meant it!" That's what Harry Truman would have said.

Talk about burdens! Trump would be too much to bear.
Who will benefit from that? rhetorical question, I know. The answer is MR.D. J. TRIUMP, and, indirectly, his lackeys.
How insane! What will it take to act to bane poisons right now?
The guy named Trump is so very pathetic..... but Oh Boy! do his followers love him.
Apparently they wear their Eclipse glassed to his rallies as I know they can't see a damn thing....
Eclipse glasses and ear plugs .... big ones because they have to hold back a lot of lies.

Don't firefighters wear masks inside and around buildings?
