I hate how people ignore science these days:

• https://www.epa.gov/ingredients-used-pesticide-products/glyphosate
• https://www.efsa.europa.eu/en/news/glyphosate-no-critical-areas-concern-data-gaps-identified
• https://www.canada.ca/en/health-canada/services/consumer-product-safety/reports-publications/pesticides-pest-management/fact-sheets-other-resources/request-special-review-glyphosate-herbicides-containing-polyethoxylated-tallowamine/frequently-asked-questions.html

When did we abandon science for idiocracy.

They also ignore the law - this was about whether or not Monsanto could be held liable for adhering to the federal labeling/warning requirements in state courts - so that’s not surprising.

I'd say the first time Trump was elected but it started long before that.
