So sorry to hear about the passing of your brother, and father before him. I have had several family members succumb to tobacco-related illnesses. As the least I could do, I've instructed my investment advisor to put tobacco (along with munitions and carbon) on the list of industries I do not want to have anything to do with. Asbestos is long gone, but all the houses I've lived in have had some in their construction. It continues to be a financial burden on owners to remove safely.

Daily I wonder what kind of seemingly lawless piece of shit country I live in - with 320 million other humans. I read about another billionaire bilking millions of us with lies and harmful substances. We’ve only very recently - a week ago - faced and funded a problem that scientists have warned us about for many DECADES. Yet we are still pumping out carbon emissions just as heavily and more over these same decades. While fossil fuels are creating BIG MONEY for those still pumping it out of the ground AND making gazillions in profit. I really am disgusted. I’d like to leave but it’s this country that has and still is doing the most damage. People globally don’t like Americans. I don’t blame them. Neither do I. The news now is always devastating. But moving isn’t an option anymore. What I have left is my vote for democracy. And some written advocacy for an audience who is wondering the same things I am. And to keep reading the truth from you, Thom, and others like you. Thank you for sharing Truth with us.
