In 1996 a cropduster was an American hero. Thirty years later, he’d be arrested for terrorism just doing his job.

We learned a lot from the green revolution.

We should be arresting people for spraying chemicals that cause health issues in farm workers.

Condensation trails are not caused by spraying harmful chemicals.

Bro, that's like middle school science

Any middle school subject can be a high school subject if enough people fail at grasping the basics.

Sometimes it can even be a college course. I remember my first year in uni our TA had to explain how long division and unit conversion worked and I was like how tf y'all got into engineering school without basic middle school mathematics knowledge.
