This is bad. A friend died an awful painful death from mesothelioma last year. His dad worked in demolition and probably exposed his son.https://bsky.app/profile/myfox8.com/post/3lrxxjgeu7u2g

Be there. Be heard.

I am so very sorry and wish him and his family the best.

Fools elected a fool. Now we pay the price.

Maybe they could just hand over a jet.

I'll be running right in on birthday 65 for a pneumonia shot which will happen a month or so after I get a covid and flu shot if we still have them. I'll talk to my healthcare provider (the office hasn't had an MD in years) about a measles booster.
