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.
Good idea.
Blaine Luetkemeyer, Ann Wagner, Emanuel Cleaver, Eric Burlison, and Jason Smith all took $100K+ from insurance corporations for their campaigns.
All republicans. Guess this is what owning the libs looks like.
How many took under $100k? It never ceases to amaze me how cheap government is to buy. Imagine how cheap it seems to the 1%.
I think the NRA got Ted Cruz for @ $25,000. At least what is publicly available. I’ve seen as low as $10,000 in campaign donations. Like, that’s not even a new car, to betray humanity.
They employ a lot of people in the St. Louis area. They bring a lot of high paying jobs to the area and the government likes that.
Not sure why you are being down-voted. It doesn’t have to be bribes that causes a person to vote some way. Just bringing a shitload of jobs to an area would cause a politician to vote a certain way. Because jobs makes voters happy, and happy voters would vote for that person again, so they stay in power.
It’s the internet, I did a wrong think. People can’t make corporate America the evil villain if you find a silver lining and it helps someone.
heard it here first, boys! Causing cancer is now legitimate business practice, just gotta pay the right(wink) people
Laughs in asbestos and tobacco… Probably alcohol but they won’t release that study yet.
I got a job for all those people and more.
Building free public housing. And keep doing it until being a landlord isn’t a “job”.
Remember folks, if you went around giving people cancer they’ll put you in jail. A corporation does it and at most a fine.
Just form an LLC first and you should be fine then right?
Imo, companies being concerned about class actions if everyone had access to Healthcare, is THE REASON we do not have Healthcare for all in this country. Imagine how many more Flint, MI, there are, but no one knows because none of them can afford to see a doctor.
I think it’s because making healthcare impossible to get without employment makes it harder for people to leave jobs.
Meh, both of these can be true simultaneously
Deny justice long enough, and people will get their own brand of justice in the worst way possible.
This is not advocating for violence against the people involved in the creation of this product, despite them murdering us through the economic system.
Just stating a fact of life.
How far off do you think we are from the people seeking their own justice? (Asking for a friend)
I’m one tragic family accident away. I don’t want that accident, but i know plan B.
That, and transferring human consciousness to the cloud, will happen the second the last millennial dies.
Thank God someone is finally looking out for the corporations!
Bayer made its bed when they bought Monsanto, fuck em
Bayer was also an equally immoral company before it bought Monsanto. What the buyout did was open opportunities for groups seeking legal action against Monsanto.
The USA south elects leaders who attack their constituents in every way. Missouri is technically midwest, but it’s also southern in spirit.
As a resident I would like to refute this claim.
I can’t. But I would like to.

Congratulations, you’re now on a list.
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?
I heat Voat is moderator free.
Drinking bleach will stop you from getting any disease, too, but we’re not suggesting harmful things to strangers on the internet, right?
If you asked for a drink that’s different and unusual and I suggested bleach, that would be out of line, mostly because it would kill you. There are drinks that are different that won’t. How many unmoderated social media sites are there that aren’t as toxic as Voat? Twitter?
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.
Me too brother, me too
Protecting LIFE ENDING CANCER is called being PRO LIFE
Just for context, Monsanto is a Missouri native.

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.
That’s great and all, but there are people living in Missouri too.
Dozens of us
The hilarity is that if you want a broad spectrum weedkiller for lawns you can just mix white vinegar and a cup of salt in a spray bottle (optionally add some dish detergent for adhesion). That shit will kill broadleaf weeds, grass, clover, you name it. And it won’t poison your dogs or give you cancer.
