Looks like the title changed: Exposing Why Farmers Can’t Legally Replant Their Own Seeds
I wonder if its because of Monsanto?
(~0:22) A farmer name Mike Wallace was killed over a herbicide. Ok.
(~5:27) Monsanto mentioned. Hmm this made me wonder: I wonder if part of the reason chemical companies have done such bad things is just due to the nature of the thing you’re working with. Certain other companies controversies can only go so far. Other companies product is, in a sense, a safer product. Harm can only go so far. Idk. It just seem that chemical and pharmaceutical companies have by far the most horrifying controversies compared to other companies controversies. I think its just the nature of what they’re doing. You can only cause so much damage with poor car manufacturing versus poor chemical manufacturing.
(~6:28) Excreting a chemical through your skin sounds horrifying.
(~6:52) “suffered no ill health effects” I wonder when health effects were studied in the long-term as opposed to the short-term.
(~7:02) So a doctor ate some of the chemical for a while. Hmm. I wonder what was the understanding of the chemicals that were considered dangerous. Like was it just X chemical does bad thing to human body don’t use. Did they investigate the reasons as to why it had harmful interactions with the human body?
(~8:12) So the dermatologist was confused as to why he would get no reactions on rabbit ears, but yet had patients that were pretty clearly having health issues due to the chemical. I wonder if this will be brought up later, but I feel like long-term exposure could have been an “obvious” culprit (though I guess this is hindsight here, also I don’t know where the video is going). The rabbit ear was just applied. The workers have been working for a while. I guess one thing to make the long-term exposure point more “obvious”: were his patients new workers or long-term workers at the factory?
(~10:40) Oh thats cool. I didn’t think of the circumstances the chemical was made under (partially due to my lack of chemistry knowledge I think). It makes sense that the chemicals weren’t made in there supposed ideal conditions and its bad they they only had information (assumably) from when things went right not from when things strayed from the ideal.
(~11:07) I think the companies were lying about not receiving the information about the harms of the chemical. Regardless: it seems that the issue the German dermatologist sent to the the chemical companies was about a byproduct in an earlier step with solutions on how to prevent this. So why not just address it? This gives me the vibes that Monsanto knew even more harms then just the product and didn’t want to admit anything.
(~12:58) Oh crap, nvm, Dioxin was literally polluting the “safe” herbicide. I now see why they wanted to deny knowledge about it.
(~15:32) Glyphosate mentioned. I assume we’re getting to round up. I used to follow this debunking channel years ago. I remember he covered round up and how he thought all the scare about it was bs. I tried finding his videos to compare, but looks like he took down his YouTube channel. Name was Myles Power. I say compare, I’m assuming I know where this is going with glyphosate. Lets see.
(~16:53) Again, I’m assuming I know where this is going, but this sounds like another case of there’s not going to be any safety tests. They’re just going to push it to market after seeing no obvious/immediate harm.
(~17:19) “sure was safe” how? Did they check for byproducts this time? They seemed pretty sure it was safe when it came to the first herbicide.
(~22:53) Hmm. Maybe Round Up is safe? Nothing showing us any signs of danger yet. I guess going off the beginning of the video, this is going to go the route of bad culture(?) that monsanto created with their new products.
(~27:56) I wonder what the legal things are for using their seed if you never signed the contract. Like I can kinda see why the original purchaser is liable to Monsanto if they give away seeds. Why would other people be? This kinda copyright and control over a sold product kinda has the same vibe as the issues we have today with a lot of software and stuff.
(~34:42) This whole thing with different internal vs external dialogue is interesting to me. I wonder if there has ever been a company under investigation where they’re internal dialogues matched up with their external dialogues.
(~35:47) That switch up on the classification is crazy. I wonder if there was some internal corruption at the EPA going on.
(~37:28) Corrupt EPA officials mentioned
(~42:00) Monsanto doesn’t act like their innocent, even if they claim to be. Thats fair.
I liked this one too. Thanks for sharing
