Protesting is there in the Constitution.
The Founding Fathers put it there, the Founders were also protesters.
I do not see a problem.
As usual, the issue is not the issue.
Big government is the issue.
This is not me agreeing with you, BTW. But here is what the formula and the process looks like:
Unfortunately, that would make the protesters useful idiots for Bayer if what you say is true. Bayer wants the current product banned so that they can get into the new patented product and all the fear pumped out there gets the useful idiots protesting and the ban happens.
Big government wins.
Big government always wins. Even under Trump big government is finding ways to win, bigly.
Yup. Scientists begging for grant money are used the same way. When AI gets ahold of it, its speed in grabbing "citations" becomes overwhelming. I wish there was a way of penalizing the "behavior" in computers but so far the prognosis is not promising. Science has devolved from repeated experiments to democracy in papers.
Money talks.
Carry_Okie do you know if this process has a name?
1) New patented product developed
2) Product #1 released to market
3) Urge government ban on previous product once the patent expires
4) Develop new product for future patent coverage in the interim
5) Product #2 released to market
6) Urge a new government ban on product #1 w/ expired patent
7) Develop new product for future patent coverage in the interim
8) Product #3 released to market
9) Urge a new government ban on product #2 w/ expired patent
Rinse and repeat
Yeah I was thinking the same thing.
I bet this process has a name. Maybe it should be called a formula. But I bet this formula has a name.
Yeah, it's the Treasury Bond Auctions.
Twenty points if you can figure out why I said that.
I love glyphosate. Buy it in concentrate to kill the weeds on my property. Without it, my house might disappear behind tumbleweeds and thistles.
And millions starved to death... We need food. This stuff allows us to produce vast quantities of food that we would otherwise not have produced... We need it.
In fairness, glyphosate is on balance less toxic than prior weedkillers. As always seems to happen though, its commercial value leads to its drawbacks being ignored and critics getting gored so as to suppress disparaging research.
Disagree.
Causes massive chronic disease.
Somehow people managed to farm before glyphosate was released”
That was back when we didn’t have 8 billion mouths to feed. We need to consider the experience in Sri Lanka a few years ago before we try to ban modern agriculture.
*We* do not have 8 billion mouths to feed.
We have 365 million mouths to feed.
Sri Lanja required only organic.
We have an abundant supply of other farming chemicals.
Best.
“Causes massive chronic disease.”
By making high calorie, good tasting food continuously and cheaply available. If only we lived our lives on the verge of starvation. Just think how nice and trim we would all be.
We have an abundant supply of other farming chemicals.”
What makes you think they are any better? Or that they won’t be scrutinized into oblivion? I think anyone who wants to ban glyphosate should be ready to pick up a hoe, go out in the fields, and do the job by hand. Put your money where your mouth is.
Every chemical exposed to the food supply should be scrutinized.
Glyphosate is bad in many ways.
Jerks and leftwing loons.
Glyphosate is great stuff.
Not well. Productivity was low, we had catastrophic droughts from poor farming practices , and a ton of invasive weeds had not yet been introduced.
And there are actual communists on the bandwagon to ban it - in fact, leading the way- as well as foreign ag interests who do not like the competition. The sane ones pushing the global warming hoaxes.
Look up the late maoist David Fenton and Fenton Communications, one of the “organic” industry’s -and shakedown litigation businesses’ biggest purveyors of misinfo.
As long as you are sure it's not poison hemlock.
