Disappearing Honey Bee Mystery Solved ?
Where have all the flowers gone?
It is remarkable that the safety burden of proof is never placed on the manufacturers of the thousands of synthetic chemicals that are a lethal and ubiquitous presence in every ecosystem and organism on the planet. As extinction rates exceed 1000 times their historical background levels, we all can take solace in the knowledge that corporations like Bayer are "earning" record profits and the collective wealth of the richest 1% of Americans went up 14% last year according to Forbes Magazine. Meanwhile, on Main Street median incomes plummeted 4%. The median incomes of Americans have been declining when adjusted for inflation since the 1970's. Nearly 4 million Americans are being paid hourly wages at or below the minimum wage. The lesson: work at Bayer, Exxon-Mobil, or Goldman-Sachs and you will be payed millions for destroying the planet and propagating human misery. I think I need an aspirin.
