Well, I know that this is just anecdotal but I knew a uranium miner, he died of cancer when he was in his early 40s and everyone he worked with is now dead but I don’t know how many or how old they were.

He would have been 59 now, he came from a huge family with no history of cancer, and he didn’t drink or smoke ever.

Better to have him unemployed and his whole family starving, right?
