The author concludes that had they looked at the same research, they likely would have come to the same conclusions.

Yes, that's the point, and the other links support the point in an ordered fashion. Your analysis of the links in question explain why that is the case. The USA deliberately avoids looking at evidence in general, that's our SOP. For example when you see claims made by US agencies that there are no studies that show or there is no evidence that something is true, what it means is that they are discarding all foreign studies which do not check meaningless boxes that are required for our agencies to consider them valid.

my feeling is that glyphosate is probably a lot safer than anything that we try to replace it with, that works as well

The intelligent thing to replace it with is zero-tilth regenerative agriculture, which doesn't require weed killer.

When anything has been used as much a glyphosate and the only people sure of it's toxicity are lawyers

You're not even sure how apostrophes work, bro.

Go to Lowe's hardware and get a container of new Roundup and read the label. The new stuff in there is surely more toxic than glyphosate and is more chemically kin to Agent Orange and paraquat

Glyphosate is underlabeled thanks to lots of money applied to government by Monsanto, still the world's largest producer of it.

I want robots with lasers that selectively kill eucalyptus trees. Those are the ones that explode in wildfires and spread embers over a wide area.

It's probably better not to fire lasers at the explosive trees.

Fun story, one time when I was a kid I came across some eucalyptus trees which someone had planted along a ravine and, as a good citizen, I chopped them the fuck down with a wooden stake. Well it turns out that the people who planted them saw me do it and complained. At the time I was living in a trailer park, and the person they complained to was the park manager. Well, the place they had planted those trees was on a neighboring property and which could have led to liability for both those people and the park itself, and the manager told them to go fuck themselves.

TL;DR: I am that robot, but sans LASER ;)

You should've seen this place back in the day. Some folks here actually believed Musk's schtick about how they'd eventually make an affordable Tesla.

I was willing to believe it up until the point it was obvious it wasn't going to happen, i.e. when they raised prices instead of dropping them.

Not hating Elon before he demonstrated himself to be a massive piece of shit is actually a mark of a rational person, just like hating Elon once he did is.

Never been a particular fan of Bill Gates but he was right to say "The picture of the world's richest man killing the world's poorest children is not a pretty one,"

He had firsthand knowledge, since the Gates foundation won't provide vaccinations to nations which don't adopt IP protections for big pharma so strong that even if their whole nation is dying, they can't produce a patented vaccine themselves without winding up owned through the WTO.

Iran having nukes would stop incursions from Israel and stabilize the region.

That's the opposite of what "we" wanted when the USA founded the nation of Israel in the British partition of Palestine via our rubberstamping agency the UN. (It's trying to take on a life of its own these days, if only it could get out from beneath the UNSC.)

Chatrie doesn't have standing to bring a case to court on my behalf.

Any person has that standing because they also have rights.

It's also not your behalf specifically, it's all people's behalf, because we all have a right to be free from overly broad surveillance.

In a world in which the police were trustworthy we wouldn't need any of this. But in a world in which people were trustworthy, we wouldn't have police, because slavery never would have existed...
