The Rules

...their original headlines, that...
...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

I can't decide whether "Asbestos industry lobbyist, 1970(ish)-2024" is like mesothelioma for one's resume or a sign to prospective future employers that they'll keep up the fight for the almighty dollar until the last dying gasp of their cause is extinguished. Either way, that's a bunch of carcinogenic old garbage heading for retirement.
