The left-overs of the corn are toxic and causing acute problems for people, wildlife and domestic animals--the GMOs are toxic, it's just more apparent when they're really concentrated. (link)

I think smart people are going to end up living like some version of the Amish. Everyone else will continue to ride the corporate/consumer carousel into a dead end future where they're lorded over by antinomians and psychopaths like Jeff Bezos or Bill Gates or their Chinese equivalents.

There's no regulating the activity of these people in any useful or meaningful way. They're the same type of people that put lead in gasoline, or who developed the plastics industry. The government is corrupt and captured. The scientists are corrupt and captured. They can always find some PhD to read their sales pitch, and can have PR shysters greenwash their activities.
