7. I am so bitter I can't see straight

I was chemically poisoned after 30 years of using solvents and chemicals that no one had any business touching without plenty of schooling. Very few safety rules 30-40 years ago. Encouraged to wash cuts and blisters with M.E.K. to speed healing. Might as well been living in the 1920's, very old school. Industrial sandblaster and coatings. When I came down with neuropathy and plenty of proof as to the chemicals I had used over the 30-40 years. Doctors, worker comp, lawyers and people said it was bullshit. I fought for years and gave up. I still get angry when I try to explain it to people. So I don't socialize or go many places much. Many of us were just kicked to the curb. Workers comp labeled me a nuisance claim. Worked like a dog all those years too. All of the chemical companies should be liable for all the people they have destroyed. It's humiliating to say the least. Never mind the pain and loss of wages because you can't work anymore. Monsanto stole my career and I want compensated.
