Caveat emptor. exactly, it is only by making money that they can pay employees and also pay tax which goes towards the paying of all those civil servants, public health workers, and similar But it also means they may not bother to be too careful about helping their customers to attend to the proper choices, the refuges if it means selling less GM seed, or herbicide or pesticide if it frightens the customer off to draw their attention to the instructions. You might as well, and with as much evidence, claim that actually it is the civil servants living of these immoral earnings which drive them to it. The refuges may be in the Monsanto contracts, but can the civil servants police what the farmers do? a government which passes a law and makes no attempt to police that law has failed in its responsibilities It is up to the local Monsanto agent. perhaps you would like private companies to be made responsible for other forms of crime prevention and the administration of justice?
