Bayer AG was part of IG Farben during world war 11 who manufactured Xyklon B to be used in the gas chambers the Nazis used to wipe out the Jews. I really have trouble taking seriously any advice on the respectful treatment from such “people”.
FWIW the chemical was an insect fumigant. Doubtless Bayer, even if it knew about the alternate use of the fumigant (it could easily have believed it was for insect control in wartime) was caught up in the nod-wink of the Nazi era — along with others like IBM that are now clean.
Having to reach like that is a sign of denial. I’m not cheering Hogg — I am warning of what (I believe) the power behind Hogg is.
