Just make sure you don't do anything that might cause severe and permanent damage like spritzing a little water on it.

What, are not grateful that they trickle down a tiny bit of money from what is left after the shareholders and CEO take their hard earned cut? Just because you did all the work and earned all of the money? How gready can you be? I mean they graciously let you be sick 6 days a year, and let you frolic for another 10. Don't you realize how much effort they had to put in worrying that the small smidgen of their enormous wealth that they had inherited and invested in your company was not earning them greater wealth at a rate that was grossly unhealthy for the company or the economy?

Does that include all the money "borrowed"from SS, or the interest that is supposed to be paid for the "borrowed" money?

I'm old enough to have seen both the rise and fall of super bowl ads. And I can tell you that they definitely have gone to shit. At one point they were just regular commercials. Then a few innovative commercials caused real buzz and so more started upping their game. But now we have reached the point of enshitification where only brands with insane advertising budgets and can even afford to do commercials. But even those budgets have limits, and between the cost of the spot and the cost of a celebrity they have to cut costs somewhere. And all that matters is the celebrity saying the brand right?

Maybe Monsanto is as forgiving as you say, but I don't believe it. I think it is a lot more likely that the type of farmers insist on regrowing from their own seed are small independents who are too far in debt to even think about fighting. I think they took the first offer given to them because it was just a smidge under the quote given to them by the lawyer they went to see where they first got a letter from Monsanto.
Monsanto is not stupid, if they ask for too much the people will fight it and go even deeper into debt to pay the lawyer and by the time Monsanto gets their cut of the remaining carcass, they won't even make enough to cover the cost of their own lawyers. But if they make the price just a bit cheaper than the cost of fighting, the victims will hand over every penny that they can squeeze out and then go off to quietly die the slow death left to them in the NDA they had to sign to get the "deal" Monsanto offered.
Or maybe I am just jaded and a giant multinational corporation is doing the right thing for the right reasons and not taking advantage of anyone.

The key problem is that they started by getting rid of all the people who's job it is to enforce the laws that are being broken.

"Although the brain stops growing in size by early adolescence, the teen years are all about fine-tuning how the brain works. The brain finishes developing and maturing in the mid-to-late 20s. The part of the brain behind the forehead, called the prefrontal cortex, is one of the last parts to mature. "

I have read these receipts and literally the first story is about Percy Schmeiser, a farmer who used seed from plants grown on his own land that had been "contaminated" with genes from a neighboring farm. He had never signed any contract with Mansanto and didn't take the seeds from his neighbor. Plants on his property were "contaminated" through natural means.
It then ends with a brief note about 700 farmers who settled out of court and lumps them under the guilty umbrella because they settled.
But worst of all, this site that this article is posted on is a propaganda mouth piece for Monsanto. It is owned and funded by the same guy owns and funds Monsanto's PR company.

I know that you feel that you are correct because by the strict definition of the word suing, there may never have been a lawsuit, but most laymen are going to understand suing to also include being threatened with a lawsuit and settling out of court.

I started there, but I eventually got to the heart of it now and just say I'm an asshole.

This reboot of The Odd Couple is really weird.

Oh God, do you think they're going to imprison Bernie!?
