I imagine, if you are in Bombay and have 3 children, that’s a completely different set of cards, but still there are so many things you can change.

Poverty begets poverty. Poor people are usually too concerned about the next meal to take time for big structural overhauls of their way of doing things.

Well I admire your optimism then! 😜

It seems you’ve never heard of unemployment. It’s a real thing and in many economies it can be above 10%

I don’t think it’s that simple. Entire businesses have to be started and upscaled for this to happen. If enough jobs vanish quickly enough, they don’t just reappear. The economy can’t react instantly to things like this, it takes years. And if it’s happening in all industries simultaneously it may not happen at all.

You think if they lose their job that there’s just a better job waiting for them? There’s a reason they took those jobs.

Hold on baby, I need to get out my map.

Yes, yes, I get it. We all hate him.

Well since no one else wanted to weigh in I looked it up. It seems there’s some correlation in animals but nothing conclusive in humans yet. Glyphosate Exposure Found To Modulate Gut Microbiome Composition

Baby, just wait a minute while I get out my map.

Warfare of attrition? Warfare of mass distruction? There are, I guess, ways to say those things properly, but these aren’t them.

I was asking more of whether glyphosphate was responsible for some of the seeming uptake in gut disorders from wheat we see today.

Yes and in that you are correct.

Not to be “that guy” but I think they are mixing their metaphors here. “Biological weapon” is the comparison they’re making, not “biological war” which isn’t something I think exists,

So examples like “chemical woman”, “woman of mass destruction” work, whereas “total woman” or “guerrilla woman” do not.

Any scientists want to weigh in here? It’s a theory I’ve heard that does sound plausible even though it’s coming from this moron’s mouth.

I doubt the amount used in what I presume is a closed system like this will be significant on a atmosphere level, but it could certainly be the source. If nothing else would make a great headline.

Finally a challenger has emerged

You think the US gives a shit? They do this kind of stuff all over the world.

We’ve made huge progress in cancer treatment in my lifetime. I hope to see it more or less cured in the time I have left.
