Said Ebenezer Scrooge of Christmas

And why celebrate a day which has, at least here in Texas (truly, was even A Thing here when I was a child), long marked the end of race-based enslavement in the USA? You might recall that the Supreme One was going to hold his first re-election rally on Juneteenth of 2020 in Tulsa Oklahoma (the site of a massacre of Black Americans in 1921)

In other Labor News, on the Bright Side, Great Leader does support keeping asbestos available to support both Russia and the US companies who use this substance. Oh, and it will also support the cancer treatment industries. Win, Win, Win !!

Despite touting ambitious goals of making America healthier, the Trump administration on Monday revealed in court documents that it is backpedaling on a ban on cancer-causing asbestos.

Last year, under the Biden administration, the Environmental Protection Agency took a long-awaited step to ban the last type of asbestos still used in the US—chrysotile asbestos, aka "white asbestos." While use of chrysotile asbestos was on the decline, the dangerous mineral has lingered in various gaskets, brake blocks, aftermarket automotive brakes and linings, other vehicle friction products, and some diaphragms used to make sodium hydroxide and chlorine...

On Monday, the EPA, now under the Trump administration, filed court documents saying that it "now intends to reconsider the [ban],"and it "expects that this process, including any regulatory changes, will take approximately 30 months." The EPA asked the court to suspend the court case in the meantime. The filing included a declaration in support of the reconsiderations from new EPA Deputy Assistant Administrator of the Office of Chemical Safety and Pollution Prevention Lynn Ann Dekleva, who until last year worked as a lobbyist and director for the American Chemistry Council...

Trump's support for asbestos has been welcomed in Russia, a primary asbestos supplier to the US. In 2018, a Russian asbestos company began marketing asbestos with Trump's face and a seal reading "Approved by Donald Trump, 45th President of the United States."
