          The current one we are poisoning ourselves with is … disinformation and delusion

            Oh no, it’s always something no one even thinks about until 30 years later. It’s always a surprise. Something everyone thought was a great thing.

            I just hope it’s not cat pictures.

          My bet is Hardi board will be the next one. Concrete dust causes silicosis. In industrial construction allowable concrete dust is basically zero. Residential construction people are sawing and grinding this concrete siding all the time.

            Hardi board

            That’s a good one. I haven’t heard of that before. It even checks off the “fireproof” box

      Except there were scientific studies done at the time that “proved” it was safe, even as a cigarette filter. Can’t really blame people for trusting that IMO.

      Now I wonder what was actually so flawed about those studies.
