    Waiting for the fuck-head right-wing war hawks to claim that it was somehow the "CeeCeePee" that fucked up our soil (unironically). And not the massively profit driven shortsighted corps that push farmers to only grow lots of the same crops without proper rotations. We learned nothing from the Dust Bowl in the US or any number of similar fuck-ups that have happened across the globe over the last hundred years alone.
