Anonymous Coward User ID: 61315891 United States 11/23/2020 08:02 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I HATE that MONSANTO doesn't have to pay, the originators who made farmers lives horrible and have made so many sick. The farmers that eventually killed themselves because these greedy human garbage monsters destroyed their lives. Bayer might be at fault too but MONSANTO execs need to burn in hell. |

Photograph by Brent Stirton/Getty Images. By Alex Kotch President Donald Trump’s pick to help lead a key financial regulatory agency is married to the top lobbyist for Monsanto—a company over which she will have oversight—and until last year did lobbying work for an industry she will also oversee, federal documents show. The nominee, Dawn DeBerry Stump, earlier worked for one of the key architects of a 2000 law that deregulated risky Wall Street speculation that contributed to the 2008 financial crisis. Stump was nominated last year to sit on the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), which was created to regulate trading of commodities such as wheat and corn—but now includes futures contracts for other commodities and financial instruments such as swaps. Some analysts worry that insufficient financial regulation could cause another crisis, as student loan, auto loan, and credit card debt have reached staggering heights. Now, after almost a year, the Senate is expected to move on confirming Stump’s nomination in the near future. Direct Lines From Monsanto to the CFTC Stump’s husband, Jeremy Stump, is vice president of North America government affairs for Monsanto, the giant agriculture multinational now being acquired by Bayer of Switzerland. In 2017’s fourth quarter, the most recent for which filings are available, he lobbied Congress and the U.S. Department of Agriculture for Monsanto on unspecified “agribusiness transaction issues” and other matters. Monsanto spent more money than any other agriculture business lobbying the federal government in 2017, according to data compiled by the Center for Responsive Politics. Jeremy Stump came to Monsanto after a seven-year stint at the USDA, which also oversees agriculture businesses. Dawn Stump’s most recent financial disclosure filing for her CFTC nomination shows that her husband owns as much as $350,000 worth of Monsanto stock as well as significant stock options and a Monsanto retirement account and pension. The potential for conflicts of interest was addressed in her May 2017 ethics agreement. Stump pledged, “I will not participate personally and substantially in any particular matter that to my knowledge has a direct and predictable effect on the financial interests of Monsanto Company unless I first obtain a written waiver.” White House counsel Donald McGahn has drawn criticism from ethics watchdogs for his waivers letting Trump nominees work on issues that present potential conflicts of interest. Stump’s pledge includes standard language that rules out helping individual companies but may allow decisions that benefit overall industries in which nominees have financial stakes. Monsanto’s recent disclosure forms indicate lobbying on regulatory activity broadly, but do not specify anything directly about commodity futures or other derivatives. The company is a member of the American Feed Industry Association, which lobbied Congress and the CFTC directly on CFTC nominations in the third quarter of 2017, when all three current commissioners were confirmed and Stump’s nomination was pending. The forms do not indicate what positions the group took on individual nominees. wmMmw |

Much worse is the fact Obama appointed a senior adviser to the FDA a former high level Monsanto exec, who floated in and out of Monsanto twice... Key decisions about food labeling and GMO's were made during that time. Barry didn't really care what you ate, they paid for that position...Kind of like high paid lawyers who worked for the Justice department under Obama, why would anyone leave a multi million dollar job to work in Government ?...Why ? We know why. |

Good - about time this got settled so many been hurt from it. Quoting: IJumpInIt Less than 5% - full story at link. "The German chemicals and pharmaceutical giant Bayer has reached a settlement worth up to $10.9 billion for tens of thousands of claims that the weedkiller Roundup caused cancer, hoping to put an end to years of litigation that has weighed on Bayer’s stock price."

Anonymous Coward User ID: 79234724 United States 11/23/2020 08:26 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Wow, the ignorance is strong on this thread. Glyphosate is perfectly safe if used as directed. Trouble is, most people are prideful morans who think they know better than the manufacturer, and fail to follow the directions. I have read that the worker who won millions in a lawsuit by claiming that RoundUp gave him cancer admitted in open court that he had accidentally soaked his clothing in the product, and then proceeded to wear them for the next six hours straight. What’s more, he did this not once, but twice. The product label clearly states that any contaminated clothing must be removed immediately, and any area of skin contact washed and rinsed thoroughly. Logic dictates that if the man was this careless with the product at this scale, to the point he was willing to soak in the stuff all day, he probably wasn’t very careful with it at other times, either. In any case, he failed to heed the stated warnings. That a jury awarded him damages in 9 figures for such behavior speaks more to the irresponsibility of the jury than than any evil intent on the part of Monsanto (not that they are all that great, as we all know). Other cases seem to show this kind of careless behavior towards the product, as well. As for reports that glyphosate is being found in wheat, this is entirely the fault of greedy farmers, not the manufacturer. You see, if wheat is nearly ripe and there’s going to be a wet spell, it may “shock” and lose a percentage of kernels, maybe as much as 10%-15%, before it can be harvested. However, if a farmer is willing to disregard both the package insert and Federal law and applies glyphosate to his wheat crop three days or so before harvest, it speeds up the drying process and enables the farmer to harvest nearly all the wheat. Of course, three days is insufficient time to allow the glyphosate to deteriorate into harmless compounds (it usually takes about a week or a bit more in the sunlight and open air to become completely degraded), so it remains on the wheat which is then harvested and binned for storage. Under those dark and airless conditions, glyphosate takes well over 100 days to decompose, and even so a certain percentage of it will likely last much longer (this is why any vegetation killed with glyphosate should be allowed to stand for at least two weeks before being plowed under the soil, as it will remain active in the soil for at least that period of time). Neither normal processing into cereal, flour and pasta, nor their packaging decreases the glyphosate content by very much, so it ends up in the wheat products eaten by the consumer. Glyphosate is a useful product if it is used correctly and sparingly. You might ask yourself why such a useful product is being demonized by the MSM as well as the supposedly more “independent” health food and organic grower industries, and then look into the World Economic Forum’s “Great Reset” plans that include massive population reduction. Glyphosate helps clear land to grow food, and if food is plentiful there will be no attrition of the population from starvation. Getting the picture yet? |
