Nobody wants to address it, but there is.
And so the hard part for me is that as I'm talking about these things, there's a divergence.
Farmers understand these companies are extorting them.
But the part that gets me is that there's such a complex of working organisms in D.C.
and in lobbyists in the capitals that have gaslit these people to make them believe that these products are safe for their health.
Safe products don't need immunity from liability.
Full stop.
If you want to see an example of that, look at the vaccine situation we have in our country right now.
The 1986 vaccine immunity has probably caused the greatest amount of suffering of any piece of legislation that we've had.
And so what happens?
Well, we see it's that $1.5 billion of lobbying that these companies do.
Well, that's just for one industry and one sector.
I mean, right now, in D.C., I read that Bayer has spent nine... Bayer has two lobbyists per member of Congress right now pushing for this immunity.
The average amount they spend per member of Congress is more than the members of Congress make in a year.
This is the capture.
And what I'll go back to is talking about what they've been doing with this immunity.
And so when you look at what they're actually doing, I say this, like right now we have these companies pushing at the state capitals.
We have them pushing at the Supreme Court.
We have them putting things into the Farm Bill, which by the way, I don't think you should be able to enter something into a bill in Washington, D.C.
without your name being next to it of who actually put this in.
