@cammerman remeber 50 years ago when asbestos was new and exiting and poorly understood, and companies were putting asbestos into everything?
Thankfully we learned our lesson and will never make that mistake again.
1976?
That's more yer CFC/DDT era (ozone and bird eggs).
A better example might be SUVs aka trucks in a moustache for tax reasons.
Although to be fair to those and asbestos, those did actual useful things and had _unintended_ consequences as opposed to being designed to 'solve the problem of paying wages'.

@4censord @cammerman (having been reading about the history of asbestos: that's also more like 100 years ago. the 70s is right around the time we started paying attention to its downsides and began banning its use in some new construction, in some places)
