Jurors give $289 million to a man they say got cancer from Monsanto's Roundup weedkiller

I hope that it never gets like a park in New Haven, where people put any unlabeled illegal shat into their bodies without thinking, without caring if they live or die, more like amoebas than human beings.

It's a good thing people don't want to live forever, but those dumb asses don't even want to see tomorrow.

 

This is why we have $20 ladders costing $160 ... because of a bad tort system and runaway juries.

 

It's happening -right- now with Fracking. People are getting sick and Republican governors, like my old one, made it -illegal- for doctors to disclose if the cause was fracking chemicals.

 

Interesting since glyphosate has jot been proven to be a carcinogen and it was used improperly by the plaintiff.

"For the herbicide glyphosate, there was limited evidence of carcinogenicity in humans for non-Hodgkin lymphoma," the report states.

But, of course, this was in San Francisco, naturally.

 

This is a little bit off topic but this is a great life hack that I have to share. I use to use a lot of Roundup and it definitely did the job. We have a large area in our back yard with paver stones and we often have weed growing between them. So usually about 2-3 times a summer I have to go out and spray them with Roundup. I found a recipe on the internet that just mixes vinegar, salt and some dish washing detergent in a spray bottle and it kills weeds like crazy. The cost is cheap because you can buy 2 big jugs of vinegar at Costco for around $5. Save a ton of money and make an environmentalist happy. One note do not use before rain. Spray on a nice sunny day and the weeds will be dead in hours.

 

Go to your farm/feed store and ask for some sticker/spreader. Mix a little into your potion and it will work even better. Even makes roundup work better -- the roots of the target plant get a bigger dose.

Thanks for not using herbicide before a rain. The longer the herbicide stays on the leaves and stems, the bigger the dose the roots get, and when the roots no longer can take up water, the plant dies.
