      McDonald’s Monsanto can sue farmers if their produce was pollinated by their copyrighted genetic strain of potatoe plant corn, “Jay Walker” was made up by motor companies, and Shell has spent billions on preventing alternative transportation and hiding the evidence of climate change.

      I’d say their success rate is pretty high. They might not be killing people in the streets, but they are killing people.

      Q: What happened to the GM EV-1? Or the Nissan Altra? Or the Ford Ranger EV? Or the Chrysler TEVan?

      Q: What about McDonald’s entire health food menu, which is basically corn syrup inside corn syrup inside some lettuce?

      A: The industry didn’t need to sue them into the ground. Government subsidies are set up in such a way that the products were either designed to fail (see: EV’s), or a marketing exercise for liberals to feel good about their garbage choices (see: both).
