Monsanto makes Roundup weed killer. Monsanto is now owned by Bayer. Some 165,000 people have sued Bayer for life-threatening health damage. Bayer was just ordered to pay one Pennsylvania gardener $2.25 billion, who said he developed NH lymphoma cancer from exposure to the ingredient glyphosate. There are many more plaintiffs to go.
How can this business model be sustainable?
Bayer will appeal the judgment and not pay. Bayer will discontinue selling the herbicide to homeowners and small gardeners. Bayer will continue to sell to Big Agriculture. Future exposure to glyphosate will come from the food we eat. The origin of subsequent disease may be impossible to determine.

America encourages its political allies in Europe to promote this revival of spirit, and the growing influence of patriotic European parties indeed gives cause for great optimism. Our goal should be to help Europe correct its current trajectory.
