    • Roundup’s main ingredient is glyphosate and is considered to be the second generation of Agent Orange. More than 300 million pounds of glyphosate is used in the United States per year and is considered to be the most widely used herbicide in the world.

      Glyphosates are a second-generation Agent Orange herbicide... and these compounds have been directly linked to all kinds of human ailments

    • RoundUp is one of the most if not the most successful agricultural product from the USA. The green commie demonrats try to kill it off with regulations just like some far left countries in Europe and Asia banned it. Monsanto/Bayer regulates itself very well in the US anyway. We don't need more government involvement and more government regulations. That's for sure. 

    • I have a suggestion for you and that is RUN FOR OFFICE or run for the president of the United State I will vote for you.

    • That's right. Not only do I pay a ton of taxes but I also end up paying for these non paying patients when I pay my high medical expenses....and there is no way out of that......arghhh!

    • Paul...

      There certainly are ways out of the medical care rip off being foisted on you and others in the USA... it's called major insurance and medical care reform.  First, insurance companies need to be mutual... owned and operated by policyholders only. Next, Medical Care can be private but must not be for profit... for-profit medical care simply doesn't work due to the fact that those seeking care normally have no choice on where it is administered due to an emergency or urgency of care... there is also the problem with understanding medical efficacy and costs... giving a person a menu of fees tells most people nothing... useful, as they don't normally know what such fees cover... the hospital often doesn't know what will actually be necessary until the service is completed.

      Medical Car should not be a for-profit business... Insurance companies, doctors, and other medical practitioners should never be permitted to operate a medical facility where they have a vested interest... a for-profit motive. For-profit motives in medical care have inherent conflicts of interests... that of the patient and that of the practitioner... The patient is looking for effective care at an affordable cost, and the owners are looking to maximize profit from that care. Those are two opposing motivations putting a patient at risk as they are not equipped to bargain for care in a life-threatening or painful condition. Patients don't have true freedom of choice in medical care as they most often need to rely on the recommendations of their care providers... and if they have the option to shop for care, they don't normally have the expertise to know what they are bargaining for in return for their medical dollars.

      Greed and avarice are driving medical care in the USA...  I am old enough to remember when there were very few for-profit private hospitals... most were State, County, City or charitable Christian Hospitals in effect public medical care... Doctors used to make house calls, and office visits were rarely over 10$ ... I had major medical care for an accident when I was around 10 yrs old and can remember we had no insurance but my parents were able to pay as the care was administered, without borrowing money or putting it on payments.  The care I received then seemed to me to be more compassionate, and personal, as the motives were not to see more patients and to bill more dollars... it was more family and care-oriented... not for profit only.  Doctors and clinics were not going broke then... but today we constantly hear how such clinics are barely staying open... even though we have the highest per capita rate of medical care costs in the world... nearly double the next closest country.

      FRAUD, avarice, and greed... that is all too often the specialty of medical care in America today...  I give you the example of Hydroxychloroquine... a cheap and effective cure for COID but it is now outlawed in many places as being ineffective. Why? Because it is cheap and effective shortening the time one is hospitalized and cutting into the extensive use of high dollar drugs... most of them being ineffective... leading to more care and more expensive drugs.

    • In the US we have capitalism. People are allowed to make money with goods and services they provide for others while some (socialists?) call making money greed. In other countries they have socialism. We don't want that in the US. Why should the government get involved? Let the private market handle it. The private market and corporations always solve problems better than the government does.

    • No one is suggesting that goods and services be socialized or that medical care be state-owned... what is being suggested is that medical care not be a for-profit private enterprise... a non-profit system that is not subject to the normal rules of free trade... medical care should not be based on for-profit motives... as the quality of care will suffer under such motives.  We see that in our system today... America's health care is not the best... not close... it is rated 47th among first-world economies... and we are paying twice as much as any other nation for some of the worst medical care in the free world.

      Accountants should not determine the treatment and quality of care provided to patients... Doctors should.  Patients should not be denied medical care based on their lack of income or financial resources which is what happens when one maximizes profit over care.  Patients don't have the ability to choose their care when an emergency arises, even under elective treatments and services.... most patients don't have the technical knowledge to know which clinical facility actually offers the best care and outcome-based on COSTS...  Hence, the government needs to moderate how medical care is administered and the fees for such services.  We are not dealing with a fair or free-market exchange... an exchange, where both the vendor and consumer have an equal footing to engage in negotiating the costs for medical care.

    • Ah ok. You just want government to regulate how much money pharma companies and other health care providers are allowed to make. Trump already imposes his authority on the business of pharma companies and takes control of their pricing. Maybe his involvement will be enough to get pharma profits to the right level that satisfies you, too. He sure is a champion of real Americans! 

      BTW the FDA also supervises facilities overseas as do other government agencies who oversee products that are sourced outside of the US for the US market. Why have the government prohibit producing safe products overseas? Why not make the US a more attractive place to do business? Wages are too high, taxes are too high, and there is still too much regulation here compared to most Asian countries for example, where a lot of our products are made. 

    • Hehe. That's an interesting conclusion you draw. - I know about these things because in one business I was importing food produced in Australia and I had to set up the USDA inspections at the facility there. Until then I didn't know the USDA had inspectors there. It was still so much more advantegeous to source in Australia. FYI shipping is almost a negligible cost: a 48 ft container cost $1,400 from Sydney to NYC. With those transportation costs it's no wonder the US imports so much.
