The employers are one solid reason for many types of cancer, from air pollution, microplastics, GRAS food additives, drugs, and any manner of modern life.

But I’d be willing to guess that’s not the “problem” that the article proposes employers are facing.

If this is about American businesses, perhaps we could try a health care system that does not require the employer to cover medical costs but instead try a collective national solution.

Tina might want to get her ears checked. She seems a bit tone deaf.

Axios's target demo is the employers, not the affected young people.

This is an article about "if you don't care about other people, stop and think about how it affects your bottom line." It's meant to be a way to attempt to instill some pseudo-empathy into the sociopath business types.

When you are trying to talk sense to dense people, sometimes you have to say things that don't tone well with reality in order to reach them.

Well, it is damaging their assets. Next thing to happen is some multinational companies to sue employees for getting cancer.
