Lee Zeldin is a cancer survivor

And yet he is gleefully allowing thousands more to die of the disease by removing the ban on asbestos.
What kind of soulless cretin do you have to be to condem others to this suffering?

We are all going to die any way.
Might as well make it as soon as possible and painful.

4. It's part of the Republican pathology

For example, Texas governor Abbott, is in a wheelchair following an accident where he sued and received a lump sum payment plus payments for life.

As governor, he passed tort reform so so others wouldn’t have the same opportunity.

“I’ve got mine, to hell with you,” really does sum up the basic Republican philosophy/pathology.

Worked in an oil refinery for 30 years. This was a terrible way to die.

My husband’s brother also had asbestosis - worked in a paper mill all his life.

Health related issues surrounding the use of asbestos has been litigated for years.
