my garage, the old fence, and a good chunk of my house is asbestos.
They've been standing 60 years and you wouldn't know it.
Damn shame we can't use the material. Proof god hates us.

The mineral might be good but its poisonous ish. Do you want your walls to be poisonous, your roof?
magic population control

How are you still alive?
Something something you may be entitled to compensation
Do you have cancer yet?
Aw fuck l, I knew I remembered that shit from ~~childhood~~ The Wizard of Oz.
They're going to say the same about plastic
Plastic is not very reactive. This property makes it generally not directly harmful to organic health, but also notoriously slow to decompose, causing huge amounts of pollution. I think it's misleading to compare it to asbestos.
From what I gather, asbestos is also very stable and not reactive. Asbestosis is caused by tiny fibers physically tearing your lungs.
It's unlikely that plastic is as dangerous (we'd seen it by now) but its buildup can likewise cause some condition.
Such as increased rates of infertility iirc
Microplastics gathering in the brain. Most of which come from tires not food containers.
Just waiting for 3D printing fumes and SLA resin to be under the radar.
they already are
And we keep ramping up production because… Capitalism!
God: "I'll make a wonder material. Fire proof. Strong. Insulating. Just dig it up from the ground. Common a fuck. Waterproof."
"Then they can all get cancer the cunts"
