The purchase of Monsanto by Beyer has to be dumbest corporate acquisition ever. After all these years it is now that the lawsuits are coming in as the science and leaks start pilling up providing the fodder.

Even dumber is that Beyer is retiring the brand Monsanto which will result in Beyer itself being named in the lawsuits and media.

They probably thought they could shake it off like Dow chemical when they aquired Union Carbide and claimed they are no longer responsible for the Bhopal disaster.

There was no social media in 1994, there is now.
