My uncle worked construction in the 80s and always said that stuff was overblown. Then his best friend got diagnosed with mesothelioma last year.

My whole crew got exposed" sounds like the start of a bad superhero origin story.

Ever notice how we joke about serious stuff to make it less scary? Holly_thompson98's superhero line is a perfect example of that. It's like we're all trying to laugh so we don't have to think about how messed up things really are.
