@LokiTheCat EVERYONE I knew even remotely connected to #Bayer or it's #CropSciences division or the #chemistry industry said that buying #Monsanto is a shit idea from the very beginning!

• They should've merely bought the #IP and #tech, not the company, and even that would've been a garbage deal!

And yes, not just #IARC knew #Glyphosate is #carciogenic and like #Neonicotinoides kills #insects.

• This was widely known even before 2010 by chemists even remotely connected to #CropSciences...

But everyone knew #Monsanto has #US #EPA decisionmakers on speed-dial, so everyone shut up because everyone in the #chemistry industry has a safe at their office with compromising material about their competitors, so basically everyone there keeps a "cartel of silence" (German Proverb) like the #Omerta...
