Monsanto + Bayer = marriage made in hell

i dont get it. who cares?

its called vertical integration.

dupont merged with dow... syrgenta merged with that other company and so on. big deal.

lol and "dominate our earths food system"??? how? they are like 10% of the seeds sold.
 
lol!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
That's a great notion however, impossible. Monsanto owns so many "unknown" companies that sell products we all use, excluding brands like Round Up®, etc. There is virtually no way of knowing ALL of the products NOT to buy. Here is a list of companies owned by Monsanto: http://www.monsanto.com/products/pages/monsanto-product-brands.aspx

Monsanto is satan's company with continuous lawsuits world wide including (and related to) farmer suicides because of low crop yields, basically resulting in farmers loosing everything because of it.

Bayer isn't much better. They own an enormous number of companies, many of which no one has ever heard of or, unkowingly buy products that are owned by Bayer but recognised by another brand. Alieve®, Dr. Scholls®, Claratin® etc. It's easy to think that by "not buying their products" would be a good way to hurt them but they are way to big to fail.

We should all be concerned that a global drug company will soon take ownership of a seed/food/fertilizer company, in charge of our earths food. Yes, they supply the world with seeds for our food. Skim this: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monsanto

Dont buy their products, the only way to beat them. Problem is most people dont care what they eat (G.O. Animal Farm).

That was approved by the share holders back in September if I recall. What is pending now is Regulatory approval from your dear sweet trump.
Trump is not my sweet anything but it does mention he may block mergers of that type based on size and dominance. 
 
The article is from Dec when it was approved.

the FTC and DOJ have the power to regulate these mergers. the POTUS is not involved directly.

if the POTUS had to approve every merger... its like all he would ever do.

the doj is led by cabinet appointees obiviously, but these mergers follow a set of guidelines and there is only so much partisan interpretation that can be applied to these guidelines before you get sued by the companies in question.

the DOJ obviously can also sue to stop a merger in federal court under grounds not addressed by the merger guidlines etc, but i seriously doubt that would happen.... i think you would have to show real probable or what ever - harm to the court.

Your record for offering "debunked" shit is 0 for 2.

Thanks for always trying to be there for firm corrections tho.
 
i know its hard to discard dogmatic beliefs... but think of it this way:

by trying to solve a real problem (suicides in india, small farmer insolvency, farming practices in the 2nd/3rd world) by applying bullshit causes... you do NOTHING to solve the actual problem.

you are actually distracting from the problem in all reality...its like locking up the wrong rapist... the real one is still out there raping despite a bullshit conviction of the other guy.
