asbestos after they funded their own studies into why their own employees were getting sick working around asbestos. The oil companies were/are defendants in those suits as well because they also covered up the dangers of asbestos. Their plants were full of asbestos insulation and other asbestos products.

These big companies do not care about human life, just profits. They complain of "pesky regulations" when they cover up serious health dangers!

The mention of Democrats not paying attention to the judiciary couldn't be more true and a bigger danger. We cannot keep any large verdicts against business in general due the the courts of appeals overturning them on BS technicalities that they make up. Campaign contributions go to judges too. Even appointed judges are selected by politicians controlled by big business.
