asbestos IS a health risk in fibrous form (but so is any similar material, icluding fiberglass). If it's somehow contained in a solid element (say rubber), it's of no concern

"Save the USPS, buy stamps; save the hobby, use commemoratives"
The thing the press doesn't show you is the tariffs on US goods going into China. It's been a one way street for a long time. If we have a bit of discomfort as our president works to level out the playing field, so be it!
What I find interesting, but probably not important, is that on Jul. 12th I read the list of China tariff items. On Jul. 13th I received a nice Ebay Order from the PRC. Immediate Payment, and absolutely no problem(s). On Jul. 14th I received a nice Ebay Order from Japan. Immediate Payment, and transaction delayed 72 hrs. for "evaluation". Huh?
I actually ordered some Lighthouse Vario binders (made in China) as protection against a price hike. I should have bought even more on prime day. I did not think I could use 10 more binders but seems I have underestimated my capability to buy stamps and print pages.
