Corporations hate to let things like regulations and laws and regard for human life get in the way of their profits and that's why they fall in love with foreign countries where they can get away with virtually anything. Joining me to talk about this is Farron Cousins from the Trial Lawyer Magazine. Farron, no surprises here. The big chemical companies, they can't sell their product in the United States because it kills too many people say, okay, we can't sell in the United States. Let's go to a third world country. Let's go to a more emerging country economy where there's no laws where there's no regulations and bribery will work every single day. That's what the chemical companies are doing right now, isn't it? Right in 23 different states across this country, we've got chemical manufacturers making pesticides that they know they cannot use in the United States. Their use is banned, so what they're doing is they're making these and they're shipping them overseas. They're shipping them, as you said, third world country dictatorships anywhere where you can easily skirt regulations or pay off regulators and governments and that's a huge profit center for them. I mean, we're talking billions of dollars and this is not by any stretch of the imagination, a new phenomenon. This isn't something they just started a couple of weeks ago. They had been doing this for decades, making it here, shipping it there to kill. Okay, so they've got, they've got a couple of fronts. The first front in America is with legal bribery, which is just payola that comes from lobbyists, you know, spread enough around and you've got it under control. The second thing they do is take control of the regulatory agents. Go ahead and hire them. Tell them, you know, you're making 150,000 today, come with us and oh by the way, don't pay quite so much attention to this investigation you got going and we're going to pay 400,000. The media easy, easy play. They simply buy advertising on the television and the media doesn't pay any attention to it. The lawyers, like people like us, we go to bat, you know, against these folks. And so what they tried to do, that's their last vestige of protection for the consumer. So what they ended up doing is saying, you know, it's a lot easier just to dump all this stuff in a third world country and create collusion with government by payoffs and bribery, a graft basically, Right now what we're looking at is about 13 tons per day of these banned pesticides are leaving the US and heading to these countries. And it's causing, according to conservative estimates, 346,000 deaths per year, directly related just to these pesticides. They cause all forms of cancer, Alzheimer’s, endocrine problem, hormonal changes in people and these are irreversible. Birth defects. Yeah, birth defect, you know, the usual things you see from the most volatile chemicals. Yeah. But another side of this, and this is a phenomenal report on it, but I think it needs to go a little further because obviously if we have these 23 states where these banned pesticides are being produced, there's virtually no way that workers in these plants are not also being exposed to it, that the local communities may be exposed to it. I think that's an avenue that also needs its own investigation because it'll happen. Let me bring it back home. Go to the supermarket. Supermarket with globalization, right? Democrats, oh, globalize, globalize, globalize. #rof #trofire #theringoffire #progressivenews
