    “I’ll never forget, I turned to Mr. Brown, one of the Browns made this crack (that Unarco managers were a bunch of fools for notifying employees who had asbestosis), and I said, ‘Mr. Brown, do you mean to tell me you would let them work until they dropped dead?’ He said, ‘Yes. We save a lot of money that way.’”

    From an article quoting Lewis H Brown, corporate owner of an Asbestos Company, and ALSO the Founder of The American Enterprise Institute, a Conservative ‘Think Tank’ which pushed anti-trans rhetoric to help get Trump elected.
