So this article is lacking in detail, were these lawsuits consolidated prior? Did they just negotiate with “thousands” of claimants, or the group?
The argument that because the epa didn’t put a warning on there they are free to not warn people about dangers they know exist is incredible. Because we corrupted the federal regulatory agency, we are free to poison everyone that trusts the system with impunity.
It’s not like it’s just people that trust them getting harmed though. Everyone is harmed, everything. Entire watersheds, all of swaths of crops and foods. It’s everywhere, there is no avoiding it. There is no labelling or warning to let you know, no regular testing of products for how much is in foods. There are roundup ready GM seeds of products like soybeans and corn engineered to take more pesticide, and we aren’t told which they are, despite them being manyfold higher in these contaminants.
It’s not like a less than leukemia inducing dose is safe, lower doses cause damage. With all the pollution we allow indiscriminately, because of these corporations corrupting regulators, and science, and politics, and repressing and persecuting honest science that threatens their interests, we are allowing myriad health problems to be inflicted on all of us, on all of the animals, uncalculateable premature deaths, and pain, and loss of quality of life, so companies can make an EXTRA buck. Some pollutants it’s just to save a marginal amount on waste disposal, this one they are directly adding the pollutants to our food, and it’s runoff to soil and water.
If the courts become too corrupt to allow people to protect themselves from such bad faith profiteering that ends lives, the courts need to be replaced.

This isn’t really a fair representation of the situation. Here’s the current version of Wikipedia’s article on Roundup concerning its potential carcinogenic properties:
There is limited evidence that human cancer risk might increase as a result of occupational exposure to large amounts of glyphosate, such as agricultural work, but no good evidence of such a risk from home use, such as in domestic gardening.[31] The consensus among national pesticide regulatory agencies and scientific organizations is that labeled uses of glyphosate have demonstrated no evidence of human carcinogenicity.[32] Organizations such as the Joint FAO/WHO Meeting on Pesticide Residues and the European Commission, Canadian Pest Management Regulatory Agency, and the German Federal Institute for Risk Assessment[33] have concluded that there is no evidence that glyphosate poses a carcinogenic or genotoxic risk to humans. The final assessment of the Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authority in 2017 was that “glyphosate does not pose a carcinogenic risk to humans”.[34] The EPA has evaluated the carcinogenic potential of glyphosate multiple times since 1986. In 1986, glyphosate was initially classified as Group C: “Possible Human Carcinogen”, but later recommended as Group D: “Not Classifiable as to Human Carcinogenicity” due to lack of statistical significance in previously examined rat tumor studies. In 1991, it was classified as Group E: “Evidence of Non-Carcinogenicity for Humans”, and in 2015 and 2017, “Not Likely to be Carcinogenic to Humans”.[35][36]
One international scientific organization, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), classified glyphosate in Group 2A, “probably carcinogenic to humans” in 2015.[27] The variation in classification between this agency and others has been attributed to “use of different data sets” and “methodological differences in the evaluation of the available evidence”.[32] In 2017, California environmental regulators listed glyphosate as “known to the state to cause cancer.” The state’s Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment made the decision based in part on the report from the IARC. State Proposition 65 requires the state office to add substances the international agency deems carcinogenic in humans or laboratory animals to a state list of cancer-causing items.[37]
Why is Bayer setting aside billions to settle claims specifically in the US? Because they know how incredibly broken the US legal system is, and they may very well face expensive legal judgements issued by easily manipulated juries and/or “judges” looking to score career points - despite the lack of any convincing evidence Roundup is carcinogenic.
Is it comfortable living up the backside of the American Chemistry Council? I bet it feels warm and safe up there for you! I can’t here you well as you are speaking over the sounds of wet shit being expelled from said backside, and it really sounds similar to you so excuse me if I don’t respond to your actual posts as all I’m hearing is the sound of shit being expelled.
Imagine either believing monsanto, or working to help them kill people without consequence?
