"Heisenberg, quit fucking with the living and get your ass back to Purgatory."

And mosquitos are chewing on your ass.
If you think they're complicated to have them described to you, you should try fixing one of the fuckers when it breaks down in the middle of the night.
You're tilting against the wind. It seems people that know nothing about farming are the ones that have the strongest opinions about farming and food.
So what if your rows were 1/2 mile wide and 1/2 mile long, and you had dozens of these rows with about 4-6 cultures interspersed amongst them? It would be like a single field with several rows, but at a scale that makes 120' sprayers and 60' combine headers make sense. You know, like a farm.
More like dad goes to jail.
I mean, in a murder investigation, you might go through a dozen people, checking alibis and generally investigating to find the final suspect and convict.
Granted, what happened here was unconscionable for someone that was only being investigated. I can see her being put on administrative leave while it were sorted out to minimize damage if she actually were guilty. But what was done beyond that wasn't right.
But you also can't ignore investigations because people might get upset. Unfortunately China has spent decades committing provable industrial espionage, so it's hard to say you can't go down that road. And when you get that high of a percentage of convictions, it proves that out. Frankly, the Chinese government should be as much on the hook here for what was done to her as NWU because they sure make it hard to be even-handed when it comes to theft of IP.
And where is OP getting a "one-time fee" from? Maybe counting a donation request?
A few dozen of more than 200 hundred researchers were charged and convicted?
That doesn't seem like a small percentage.
Can you think of anything more processed than trying to grow meat in a vat? I can't imagine what chemicals get pumped into that to make it grow.
Most people make the mistake of harvesting old bulls. The young ones are tasty.
There was a time in this fair land, when the railroad did not run...
