That explains it about the rampant ignorant technophiles who want to force other nations with a product or re invention they don't need but with a hidden motive. I am becoming more disappointed with regret to what I discover but I don't accept that what every egg head says is true especially with that hidden motive.
I don't mind paying a bit extra for quality good work.
I am against paying cheaply for bad quality work when the worker gets paid a pittance of that. One of my concerns about long term health effects is the potential to market something quickly because of its cheapness and not put much research in as you say understanding it:
Like the issue with:
Other than my suspicion surrounding the exposure to asbestos in the attempt to make the working class citizens or poor people slowly die off before they were able to get their pensions the companies knew:
QUOTE
One of the most tragic aspects of these diseases is that they could have been prevented. Since at least the 1930’s, manufacturers and distributors of asbestos knew about the health risks associated with the mineral asbestos. They knew that their workers and those people exposed to asbestos fibers would develop lung diseases. However, since they were aware that the latency period (or the period between the exposure and the development of the disease) would in most cases be years and often decades, they decided to let the next generation deal with the problem and place profits above the health and safety of hard working and innocent people.
http://www.environme...criptions97.aspAs here in the 1930's industries knew about it. This is what I mean about the long term health effects. How can you trust these people? Oh I forgot, isn't the information all the "average man" needs to know passed down to the eggheads as an excuse?
If this unforeseen in that the whole thing was a waste of health, time, and government money as you say because someone wanted to save $5 but that could make installer an egghead too in not knowing too. Shows that those people only of then.
Also fibre glass:
QUOTE
A breakdown of the fiberglass lining in the supply side of the ductwork was later disclosed. The liners were cut to fit, but the edges were not sealed or taped.
http://www.sustainab...ctims/brown.htmTo the rest of the articles this is what happens when something isn't researched very well.
QUOTE
"The regular doctors, they don't know what they're doing," she said. "If anybody could have seen the fiberglass, they would have saved us a fortune and months of grief."
Now are the doctors egg here heads too? Most of the stuff in the victims page seems to be about the demonstration of shoddy work involving mishandled fibre glass insulating.
QUOTE
Draisner's efforts capped years of protest by local residents who are concerned with the tons of particulates and pollutants which the Knauf factory will dump into their end of the Sacramento Valley, which is ringed with high mountains and already suffers from poor air quality.
http://www.sustainab...News/shasta.htmThis is the problem. The effects are showing. Doctors above don't what they were diagnosing and like the carelessness of abestos they are going to pollute the valley and like in the Industrial Revolution:
QUOTE
City leaders in Shasta Lake, California, rolled out the red carpet for Knauf Fiberglass, claiming it would bring much-needed jobs to their economically sluggish area. But not all local residents were thrilled.
They are making use out of workers in a "sluggish" area perhaps with "sluggish" materials resulting in pollution to be duped on their residences.
They say here that Knauf is a German-based multinational corporation, BUT I am STILL looking whether they sell the same stuff in Germany on their website. If this is to be true that they don't trade, make or use this fibre glass in Germany then it speaks of hypocrisy.
Now what kinds of things can happen when the workers start to take advantage of the jobs there?
It is a lot to read but take a look at this:
http://www.sustainab...tims/lavery.htmQUOTE
The company tells its employees the major risk from fiberglass is skin irritation, not lung cancer, Knisely said.
"(United Technologies) has said, 'There's nothing wrong with you. It can't hurt you,'" Lavery said. "United Technologies was a gas chamber, and I think in time they're going to find that out."
It is not healthy to breathe in any kind of dust for a long time and can't be compared to just getting a rash.
Now compared to GM foods, they were tainting the peas grown in Australia to the improvements with its success of growing on the field but not the fact that the genes they intended to only resist insects (like how they say fibreglass is irritation to the skin and won’t cause lung cancer) made the rats ill with lung inflammation. Now wasn’t that was overlooked in a similar way?
Furthermore the main points I am thinking of is the idea of modification, but what for. Now taking in consideration, Cyzyk you said someone wants it $5 cheaper (maybe at first) despite the economics of reducing the quality of life and thinking of just now.
Well I am too tired to think of anything else.
I think the next thing to talk about is the temptation to buy cheap knowing that it is unsafe and educating the eggheads with myths.
