Are the Round-up lawsuits just about money?




Are the Round-up lawsuits just about money? I have some questions, all those accusing Monsanto of lying or misleading them about safety, did they read the label? Did they follow the instructions? Read it below:
I sprayed Round-up from 1974 to 2017 and never saw anyone take the precautions Monsanto spells out on the label? Including myself, now 77 and cancer-free!
I see photos of Round-up being sprayed over crops and plants where the labels say not too?
And just in case your not familiar with why Round-up is so good, it is labeled to kill and control GRASS & WEEDS only. It can damage anything other then GRASS & WEEDS, even the user, read it on the label?
Please be sure I have no affiliation with Monsanto and since I was the second person to use Round-up for landscape maintenance starting in 1974 and a common-sense thinker, this is why I believe most of the lawsuits are just people looking for easy money?
I wonder what conclusive proof do the complaints have that Round-up has caused their cancer?
I find it interesting that a Judge would allow these cases to go
forward without proof?
If you can't prove you read the label and followed the instructions, how is there even a continuing lawsuit?
From the Round-up label

Is learning social skills difficult, and does it take a long time? What are the most appropriate steps to learn to communicate? Does critical thinking have a role in social communication?

Question from Quora Interesting question, I am not sure critical thinking is essential in the role of an excellent social communicator? Let's turn that around and agree to be an extraordinary social communicator, you should be good at public speaking. Interestingly some I believe are born with that talent, or learn excellent social communication from a mentor, parent or possibly a nanny a very young age. My recommendation is to search out a Toastmasters club, Toastmasters International -Home ( Toastmasters International -Home ) is found in around 140 countries. Find a club that meets weekly, to improve public speaking and social communication skills, you need commitment and practice as often as possible. Create a FREE listing at www.weebewclub.com

David against Goliath!

History always tells a story; this story not unlike the tale of David and Goliath is the story of how Goliath has control! PLDT/Smart in the Naga City area of the Philippines as well in simple terms is the saddest excuse for an internet company. This personal war is a service I pay for! Each time I take my time to go to either PLDT or Smart at the SM mall , I am promised my lack of signal will be attended too; but this never happens! Now nine times I have in person complained, spending over 15  hours of my time, for nothing! Personally, I came to Naga City, to marry the beautiful Rowena, and I did see video thi blog. Second on my list to teach English, spelling, sentence structure and public speaking to children. This I have done. Third I am trying to create a public speaking school; for adults?  In these blogs, you may read about it all. But! The because of the lack of any constant flow of quality internet, my goals are severely quashed, like a giant sitting on me! When yo
