Yay: The Supreme Court just embraced science and sense over hysteria and trial-lawyer greed, slapping down an entire class of lawsuits that aimed to suck hundreds of billions of dollars out of US businesses just because (as bank robber Willie Sutton once put it) “that’s where the money is.”
In the case at hand, the junk-science claim was that Roundup, the widely used weedkiller, caused a Missouri man’s cancer — so the company that makes it owed him (and his lawyers!) $1.25 million because it never put a warning to that effect on the label.
By 7-2, the justices ruled that state courts can’t create their own standards for such warnings when the feds have already acted.
If Roundup was a cancer causing chemical there wouldn’t be a farmer alive in this country. I have handled and sprayed hundreds of thousands gallons of Roundup with zero side effects. Lawyers are like snakes and they are ruining our country one lawsuit at a time.
An old farmer once told me that half the world would starve to death if it wasn’t for roundup. Does that shed any light on the governments motives?
The government doesn’t want to lower the working class’s population, it just wants to lower our standard of living.
