jts Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 From the point of view of irrational conspiracy theorists, this is great news. But from the point of view of rational Objectivists, this is a horror story. Therefore I put it in the horror file cabinet. From the general himself. Jeffrey Smith (the narrator) was the master strategist (the general) who masterminded the downfall of Monsanto. So I think of him as The General.

Darrell Hougen Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 I can't watch the video right now, but I heard the news the other day. I don't know much about the case, but my feeling is that this is another ridiculous result. Chemicals have side effects. If we ban all chemicals, we'll be overrun by weeds and insects. There are always trade-offs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jts Posted December 5, 2018 Author Share Posted December 5, 2018 Monsanto gets a lot of mean mouthing from health nuts. I am surprised that to my knowledge the Objectivist community is not defending Monsanto as a heroic productive company like they did Microsoft.

Like so many other rotten, criminal, crony-statist corporate entities, they will shortly be bankrupted, broken-up and scattered by a genuine system of justice. Trump isn’t done cleaning up DOJ and the corrupted courts, far from it. Soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Stuart Kelly Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 People used to call Monsanto critics cranks and conspiracy theorists. Mockery with tin foil hats and so forth... Where did the smug superiority go all of a sudden? Michael 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BaalChatzaf Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 What if the stuff in Monsanto's weed killer really did substantially increase the probability of getting non-Hodgkins Lymphoma? If Monsanto did not post a clear warning about the danger wouldn't the company be liable for damages? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jts Posted December 12, 2019 Author Share Posted December 12, 2019 There is a dangerous trend all over the world. It is anti-reason and anti-life. Objectivists should be concerned. Jeffrey Smith explains, both audio and text. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Letendre Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 Farmers hate Monsanto. They deeply resent how trapped they are by Monsanto. They’re afraid to even be on record criticizing the company. The blowback is going to be enormous. They’ve been untouchable, protected from real lawsuits. Payback soon.

Peter Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 The good, the bad, and the ugly. My wife keeps using RoundUp though I have cautioned her about it. Damn but it does work to kill weeds along our ditch bank. I believe most if not all of the lawsuits are from people who have used RoundUp in a professional capacity, as with professional gardeners, farmers, and grounds keepers. Peter Notes. Breaking news RoundUp Settlement Talks Underway On August 9, 2019, it was reported that Monsanto’s parent company Bayer is considering a settlement in the billions, to appease more than 18,000 lawsuits alleging that its weed killer RoundUp causes cancer. Monsanto's RoundUp is one of the most widely used herbicides in the world. Farmers, landscapers, nursery workers, as well as home gardeners have used this weed killer--believing the product’s safety claims. Cases have proceeded to trial in both state and federal court and several other lawsuits are currently awaiting trial in 2019 and 2020. You may be entitled to a substantial settlement if you were exposed to RoundUp and diagnosed with any of the below: Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma Mantle Cell Lymphoma B or T-Cell Lymphoma Hairy Cell Leukemia Other Cancers Available 24/7 800-648-1999 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
