7 to 2. Monsanto wins. Your food loses. Welcome to the pool. Everyone is in it now.
The Supreme Court just ruled 7 to 2 in favor of Monsanto, striking down thousands of Roundup cancer lawsuits worth billions in damages.
The ruling grants liability protection to the maker of an herbicide that hundreds of thousands of plaintiffs claim causes cancer. Corporations are now getting the same shield that pharmaceutical companies have had on vaccines for decades.
If liability protection was fine when it applied to something you didn't personally worry about, today's ruling is a reminder that the same protection now covers what's in your food.
When corporate interests drive the political system rather than human interests, that's fascism, not a republic.
Regardless of party, the pattern keeps repeating. Corporate interests are winning, and the public is left with fewer tools to hold them accountable.
