Its Karma.
Not instant, like their rice....its slow cooked Karma....
With a side of Sony baloney.
That's not a palindrome. niger is a Latin adjective meaning black. Please note the single 'g'.
Niger (or anagram) is spelled with only one "g"....
Oh, I see what you did there, honky!
I can't imagine why anyone would want to do this...having witnessed the sad progression of that disease second hand, it is not something that a sane person would want to experience.
You're right. This must be spin on a screw up.
They were most likely working on multiple orgasms and got this in error.
Or just sit on a washing machine.
You might be onto something....
They might have been working on simulating multiple orgasms and stumbled on Parkinson's in error.
Clearly, this would never happen outside of an academic setting. Who would bother?
Does it matter, who?
The outcome of elections are worth billions to vested interest groups. $4 billion was donated to candidates and PACs in the months preceding the election on November 4th. Many, many, people would "bother".
The point of the question "Does it matter who?" is to point out that the outcomes of elections are worth billions to vested interest groups, and that $4 billion was donated to candidates and PACs in the months preceding the election.
So from here, it looks as if you think you disagree with someone with whom you actually agree.
Mod Parent Up !
These are GMO, they are Hybrids, " focus their efforts in assuring that they monetize" Do you think farmers worked for free? "even at the cost of others' lives or prosperity." absurd. " When you put more effort into sterile plants" They aren't. "that require chemicals" Name a plant that doesn't require chemicals. " towards nutrition and human survival" this is about nutrition and human survival.
" DuPont's Napalm sales " so you are so factless you need to do ad homs, and non sequitors.
Do you think farmers worked for free?.
Farmers have been working for a living for thousands of years. They never before needed to consult with geneticists to fully understand the ramifications of buying seed that has been modified to produce sterile seeds and thrive with proprietary chemicals developed solely to control the crop and extort the farmer with costs that eventually put them out of business. This is not how the crops behaved in the past, and DuPont sure as hell did not clarify that fact to a subsistence farmer with no education.
absurd.
Absurd? So you think its reasonable for Africa to enter into untenable contracts with foreign interests who want profit and do not care about the difficulties to pay. These farmers will likely be driven out of business so foreign corporate interests can take over their land and agriculture. This is about power and money, not about feeding people.
They aren't..
Yes, they are. The development is not accidental, it is their business plan.
Name a plant that doesn't require chemicals..
No plant needs a DuPont chemical except for these. They are specifically developed that way. DuPont intends to make crops dependent on their chemicals. Once again, these intentions are not fully comprehended or disclosed. Poor Farmers in third world nations are no match for DuPont, they certainly should not be controlled by them.
this is about nutrition and human survival.
Don't be naive. DuPont is about profit. If they just want to feed people then why develop proprietary plants and then charge 10 times the already high prices? The Farmer's margin for profit is now all for DuPont. But when there is no rain, too bad for the farmer. DuPont will be happy to auction the land to another Farmer that must bear the burden and risk for their "enterprise".
Clearly, this would never happen outside of an academic setting. Who would bother?
Does it matter, who?
Of course they only care about the money; that's what corporations are supposed to do.
(I mean, could you please make up your mind whether you want corporations to engage in politics or not? Sometimes you want corporations to get drawn and quartered if they as much as utter a squeak on social or political issues, at other times, you whine and complain that "they only care about the money".)
When you put more effort into sterile plants that require chemicals than towards nutrition and human survival than you should not be permitted to enter the world food market. Its criminal extortion plain and simple.
How is anybody forcing you to buy their plants? If you think that non-sterile, non GMO crops are a better deal, just buy those instead. Where is the "criminal extortion"?
This is not marketed to me, but their seed is contaminating the gene pool in African seeds via the subsistence farmers who wind up trying to use them.
If you think that its OK to screw over people to make a buck then I really don't need to elaborate further on the ethics involved.
