The people behind corporations continue to become more powerful. Because of the way in which Monsanto got mixed up with Bayer recently, I think we should know about the corruption cases they have been involved in.

Yes, and Bayer specifically asked the FDA to not warn the European health regulatory bodies about it once they got found out, and the FDA complied. That's the paroxysm of scumminess if you ask me.
