4. My brother-in-law was a maker. He framed houses until his body broke down. He has been shot with

nail guns (safeties removed so they could work faster which seems to be an industry practice), been knocked off of the roof a few times, and countless other injuries. Those he shrugged off. The treated wood is what is getting him though. He has terminal cancer and has had tumors removed from his brain and chest. After a career of representing working men injured in refineries with special emphasis on asbestos and silicosis, I have seen what Capitolism does unchecked. Now he has no insurance (never had it) and no retirement (won't need it now)!
The asbestos companies knew in 1932 that their products were causing these diseases and covered it up. The Koch brothers own Georgia Pacific is one of the big defendants in that litigation. These companies don't care about their own workers unless they are made to by Unions and the Government! Right now both of those are too weak to do the job!
