It checks with everything else. I've never seen this level of overt neglect to public health from any government of any country in my lifetime.
From vaccines to healthcare research and healthcare access and even food inspection safety... from climate research, to weather monotoring to natural disaster prevention... they're readying a level of catastrophe that I can't even fathom what's to come.
I've already met a lot of terrified Americans who migrated to my country in Europe to avoid so much of this. I can already see a lot of more of them to come, and it frightens me the global health crisis that will erupt from it.
And by the way, isn't asbestos still legal to use in the US? I'm genuinely asking. I remembered being told so and was shocked that it still was. But that was a while ago.
It's not legal in New housing, but removal from old housing isn't required. Though you can use it for other things like insulating kilns or furnaces.
Good to know that that's better now.
Thank you for answering my question.
Money. The answer to why is bribe money.
