how much of the constitution do they want to tear up this time?

Or will they use this to push for more taxes.

Glyphosate (a herbicide) and Neonicotinoids (pesticides) have both been ravaging the bee populations. It's obvious, but the chemical companies would rather bathe in their cash than face a world with a healthy ecosystem and less profit for them.

I did a search asking if Glyphosate is a Neonicotinoid and not a single answer came up on the first page. It was all bought and paid for articles about how neither of them was harming the bees. I didn't even ask about the bees!

This shit was fake the last time, and it's almost certainly fake this time too.

Lawn seed used to include clover, which flowers, before Round Up was invented. Now they call clover a weed and everyone Round Ups it away.
