Your statement sounds to me like another overreaction to the facts at hand.

You're so worldly we should bow to your expertise.

I was merely commenting on tastey’s misinformed summation of the city I live in. If I said something like “Archbold is filled with poorly educated backwater folk”, having never been there, I’d be in the wrong. (I wouldn’t say such a thing... as I’ve never been there.)
You’d likely respond that the person making such a statement was uninformed in such a thought as they have never been there.

And then there's this...

Seattle is dying; so are Portland and Spokane

Driving into Portland on a route we have used for 25 years, we noticed tents and tent camps everywhere — under bridges, in abandoned properties and tarp cities.

We also saw many abandoned camps. The people were gone. The trash was left behind. Garbage, tarps, things collected and used were now left behind for someone else to pick up — or as it looked, not pick up. What a great view for tourists coming to visit. Welcome to Portland — a literal sewer and garbage dump.

We stayed downtown where, as you walk, you can see people in sleeping bags everywhere. These are people without shoes or socks.

As much as he may annoy you, attempting to misgender someone is quite low.

Depicting a fictional character that you see in your mind can in NO way be construed as misgendering

emotionally feminine version of Cliff

I’d rather have homeless than GOP voters. It’s a step, or two, up in class of people.

WOW that sounds just like SOMETHING a KKK member would say about African American folks.

Are you sure your not REPUBLICAN BUD?

You took one group of people (republicans) and lumped them all together as being the same, and you don't like them just because they are republicans. That is the exact same thing the KKK does. No twisting needed.

I don’t like them because they vote for idiots like trump.

In Win for Bayer-Monsanto, Trump EPA Claims Cancer-Causing Weedkiller ‘Safe’

WASHINGTON – The Environmental Protection Agency reaffirmed its claims today that the active ingredient in Bayer-Monsanto’s carcinogenic weedkiller Roundup is safe, ignoring a growing body of independent research showing a strong connection between glyphosate and cancer in humans.

“Today’s announcement underscores that the Trump administration’s willful ignorance of science and abject fealty toward the chemical pesticide industry knows no bounds,” said EWG President Ken Cook. “No American should believe for a second that Trump and EPA chief Andrew Wheeler ever give a thought to whether their policies could harm public health.”

Glyphosate, the active ingredient in Bayer-Monsanto’s Roundup, is the most widely used pesticide in the world. It is largely used as a weedkiller on genetically modified corn and soybeans. But it is increasingly being used for crop management and applied pre-harvest to a number of non-genetically engineered crops, including oats.

Last year, a report in Environmental Sciences Europe documented how the EPA ignored a large number of independent, peer-reviewed studies that link glyphosate to cancer in humans. Instead, the report found, the EPA used research paid for by Monsanto to support the agency’s position that glyphosate is not carcinogenic.

Since 2018, three separate juries found glyphosate caused cancer in four California residents who were exposed to the herbicide while handling Roundup, and awarded multimillion-dollar damages to the plaintiffs. There are now more than 13,400 similar cases against Bayer.

Last April, the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry released an analysis that gave weight to studies connecting glyphosate and non-Hodgkin lymphoma, and recommended monitoring children’s exposure to the toxic weedkiller.

In 2015, 17 of the world’s top cancer researchers convened by the International Agency for Research on Cancer reviewed hundreds of studies on glyphosate and voted unanimously to classify the weedkiller as “probably carcinogenic to humans.” In 2017, California added glyphosate to its official list of chemicals known to cause cancer.

Three rounds of laboratory tests commissioned by EWG found glyphosate in nearly every sample of oat-based cereal and other breakfast products at levels higher than what EWG scientists consider protective for children’s health with an adequate margin of safety. Last week, Kellogg’s announced it will take steps to phase out the use of glyphosate to dry oats and wheat before harvest.
