  • roommates employer (a hotel) has had workers ‘soldering’ in the AC system for the past week, my roommate has asthma and has had to leave work early every day this week, while his boss and fellow employees gaslight him saying they don’t personally smell anything so it must be ok/his individual mental problem, which is maliciously ignorant since solder material has lead in it, and the fumes are very toxic. its not in my roommates head as i can personally smell the fumes on his clothes after he gets home and i don’t have asthma like he does. i’m in the US, is there any grounds to sue here? like i am concerned with the health of all the guests at the hotel, the entire building smells, no shot its good to sleep through that kind of fume exposure.

    edit: also my roommate fell asleep remarkably early today, like right after work, and has been asleep all day. its like an hour past his normal bedtime now. i’ve kind of been panicking worrying he died from some kind of delayed asthma complications or something (we were supposed to get groceries today, but i got no responses via texting so i went alone) but i’m too socially anxious to check for fear of being needlessly obnoxious/waking him up unwantedly. so i guess i’m just going to marinate in existential terror until tomorrow no untimely demises this time, fortunately or unfortunately we both persist in the cycle of samsara for now
