    Investigate donations to those MO House members voting for this bullshit. Smells like Bayer Bribes, since this doesn’t benefit the citizens of MO at all.

    Monsanto spent decades knowingly murdering customers, spent millions hiding their murders, and to this day they won’t even accept responsibility for their murder spree - let alone show remorse.

    People have suffered the agony of botched executions for far less than that. There are determined committers of genocide with lower body-counts than monsanto executives.

    Remember folks, if you went around giving people cancer they’ll put you in jail. A corporation does it and at most a fine.

        Cool, I want on too. Ahem: “I would firebomb these fuckers just for the hell of it, no cancer required”.

        Not on a list, but in the crosshairs of fairy-ass internet moderators, which is possibly worse. I fled Reddit to get away from that shit but we aren’t escaping it anywhere, are we?

        Something tells me they already were

        Then again this is a left leaning space. Everyone here is on a list.

        Meh, let them put me there and see how uninteresting my life really is. Plus, this statement began “if I had cancer” which I am currently unaware of having. So if I ended up with cancer we caused by weedkillers, then there is a problem, but that’s a highly unlikely situation. Hell, if I had cancer it would be from 20 years of smoking cigs (which I did quit, but it could still happen). And at that point, you can’t really sue the cig companies, not because of law, but the fact that cigs cause cancer is such general knowledge, that it really comes down to personal choice and stupidity to do so… man I miss cigs 😪.

          You dont miss cigs. You miss nicotine. Nicotine is 7 times more addictive than heroin. Your brain is still wired to crave it.

            Well, I vape with nicotine damn near constantly. I miss the weight of the smoke in the lungs, I miss the pressure to make sure I get sufficient drags in while burning one because it will just burn away or go out if you don’t. These among other factors show that it’s legitimately the cigs that I miss. Mind you there’s a lot I don’t miss, like the stank on my fingers, clothes, and hair. I don’t miss “nic lips” which is the residue tar that builds up on the lips and in the mustache when you smoke a lot. And I definitely don’t necessarily miss the taste. So it’s a trade off for sure. But I know I do miss cigs overall.

    If I wanted to file a lawsuit for Roundup giving me cancer, I dont have to file in Missouri. I can file in my home state where I got cancer from their product. Missouri’s laws don’t apply here.
