  Several tobacco companies would like if that were true.

    How long after the dangers of smoking were known? Aren't these same companies owners of large vaping brands now btw?

      How far do you want to move the goalposts?

        Thanks for answering the question. So it seems that it takes 80 years for the American government to do something about it. Well past the golden age of profit of the tobacco industry. Now please explain to me again how this is the justice system suddenly genuinely caring about people's health instead of a strategic case to kill European competitors and extort money out of them? Chemical companies like Dow, 3M and DuPont are in the same basket and don't seem to get fined much.

  The US gives domestic tech giants a very wide berth on a lot of privacy and platform owner market power issues while Europe, which can't produce a tech giant of its own aside from ASML, is on a huge crusade about privacy and open access to tech platforms. We're only discovering we have principles about this stuff now that foreign-based Tiktok is succeeding here.

I dont care, Bayer shall be sued as much as they can, as they were the engineers of the holocaust[1][2][3], but claiming that the US sues Bayer because they really care about corporations fucking up the health of their people, while 9/11 first responders with lung cancer etc. are thrown under the bus, and not because they exercise a trade war with the EU to this day is wrong imo.
