Monsanto pleads guilty

[kalianna]

A company you can trust: 

"Monsanto admitted it committed 30 misdemeanors connected to the use of a glufosinate ammonium-based product sold under the brand name Forfeit 280. After using the product in 2020 on corn fields on O‘ahu, Monsanto allowed workers to enter the fields during a six-day “restricted-entry interval” after the product was applied.  The plea agreement calls for Monsanto to serve three years of probation, pay a total of $12 million and continue for another three years a comprehensive environmental compliance program that includes a third-party auditor."

Iʻm wondering what it means for a company to be on probation.  No spraying after midnight?  

Please note: This thread is not about glyphosphate.  Weʻve already been there, done that.

Absolutely nothing. Its just part of doing business. This is the advantage of having a corporation, the people who really make the decisions run with impunity.

It’s not exactly “little”. 

The fine they paid is nothing to them.

What's the problem here? They said they "sincerely regret it", and I truly believe them when they said "this was contrary to the values and policies of the company"

Isn't that enough?
