US juries, after years of reluctance, spontaneously decide that Glyphosat is a killer and worth heavy punitive damages. As soon as a foreign company bought Monsanto, that is. I don't really mind the verdict itself, but the timing is more than a bit suspicious. |

Yeah, that's definitely a bit weird. It's similar to when a government entity in the USA suddenly discovered the Diesel cheating just when big foreign car manufacturers had large successes in the US market. Even though it was made to look like it in the news, Volkswagen wasn't the biggest perpetrator [0]. And currently the US government puts major pressure onto the DTAG-Sprint merger and constantly comes up with new requirements, e.g. now they want DTAG to stop buying Huawei products world wide [1].
