Monsanto loses Roundup lawsuit

[Industrial Toys]

Can't you rip it in half and tell them they get the other half next time?

At least you guys still have one and two dollar bills.

Here in Canada we have coins for those denominations. When we tip with a 澱ill it痴 a minimum $5.

Last I checked 電ancers don稚 like making change.

Cant you guys swipe a CC on the dancers up there?

Hard to get a coin to stay where you put it......

Yes you can but they add a 3% surcharge for the merchant fees.

And BTW. We don’t have to swipe up here. We have “tap to pay”.

Could be where the term originated.

I have a lot of respect for dancing girls. They contribute to society. I know a LOT of people that don't......

Im not sure I would want to "tap" any of the dancers I have ever known......

Recommended reading: "DDT: A Case Study in Scientific Fraud" by J. Gordan Edwards, PhD (entomology).

Dr. Edwards was a stalwart in defending DDT from what he felt was fraudulent, activism-driven science. He was involved in numerous studies showing DDT didn't impact birds. For years, he ate DDT on a regular basis in front of his students, to demonstrate how benign it was to humans. Edwards died of a heart attack at age 84, while hiking, after having directly consumed a lot of DDT for more than 30 years.

Meantime, the DDT ban is estimated to have substantially contributed to tens of millions of preventable deaths from malaria. Rachel Carson may be the greatest mass murderer in human history, and she is lionized by environmental activists.

Bottom line: There are evil forces at work on both sides of these issues. Either side will lie to get what it wants, and there are legions of allies that will support the lies.

Do I trust Monsanto? Not particularly.

Do I believe that Glysophate is harmful to people when used as directed? No.

Absolutely

DDT was effective, low on the spectrum of toxicity and CHEAP. It was made a scapegoat and opened the doors to WAY more lethal and expensive chemicals.

Probably the reason it was scapegoated, to generate larger profits

My herbicide instructor taught that it wasn’t the DDT, it was the inert ingredients. Of course he also claimed that the only thing Agent Orange caused was acne. I’m not against responsible use of pesticides in general although so far I致e been able to use only ”organic approved” pesticides and I won’t use Roundup on my own land That’s just my preference. I do consider use of Roundup ready seed stock to be the biggest threat to our food chain, as it can and does propagate true to form.
