Meantime--as I discovered yesterday--the Netherlands (on whose intervention values we used to rely) appears to be requiring the removal of all asbestos roofs by 1 January 2024. Quite how they are going to move and dispose of all that asbestos I'm not sure ... but it's good work for the contractors I presume.

POTUS also opined:
"In his 1997 book, The Art of the Comeback, Trump argued that the association of the chemical with health risks was part of a mob-created conspiracy. “I believe that the movement against asbestos was led by the mob, because it was often mob-related companies that would do the asbestos removal. Great pressure was put on politicians, and as usual, the politicians relented,” he wrote."
