1. Monsatan has this absurd 10% GMO gene threshold above which farmers must pay steep royalties.

They know perfectly well it's almost impossible for farmers who avoid planting their frankenseeds to have less than a 10% GMO genetic content in their crop when said farmers are often surrounded by those who do plant them.

And per this agreement, guess who pays the cost of verifying each and every shipment? Why, the Argentine taxpayer por supuesto.

Macri had been showing a little backbone on this issue at first; but I suspected he'd cave before long. Monstan can be very per$uasive, you know.
