Asbestos Scandal
Joe Perkins has a harsh yet informative op-ed in the San Diego Union-Tribune this week about asbestos litigation. Asbestos litigation is a topic that makes people turn away because they think it sounds boring......which is what those who are enriching themselves through it are counting upon.
Says Joe:
It is, arguably, the biggest racket in American history - asbestos litigation.Read the rest. You won't be bored. I promise.
It is bigger than bootlegging during the Prohibition era.
Bigger than cocaine trafficking during the drug-addled 1970s.
Bigger than securities fraud during the get-rich-quick 1990s.
