There was also no big oil once.... Agritech companies have become big corporate systems and you don't want things to change. Farmers are more and more owned by those farms and their compulsory ecosystems. That's why it's so hard for farmers to change.
So these inventions will be 'kaltgestellt' by said companies or they will enjoy the reduction in costs. You as consumer will never pay less
I never said anything about us paying less. You're saying that she would be targeted or silenced because of cheaper method for fertilizer. I'm asking why you think the farming industry would silence her so they can keep spending more money instead of accepting it and getting more money.
O, the industry will use it, buy the patent or make her sell the rights. Whatever, but you won't notice it.
Fact that there is already a very low price mentioned means that industry will do anything to get their hands on that extra margin.
And thus the end for our brave lady and her great work. History is full of other examples and corporate greed is peaking.
I don't understand, at no point did I say there would be savings for the consumer. Where are people getting that from? I am just saying she's not gonna get silenced over this.
He's not listening to you. That's why none of his responses actually touched on anything you said.
He's trying to sound smart and feels special and knowledgeable by talking about these conspiracies. He learned that talking about this stuff makes him feel important. So he read your comment, saw an opportunity to do that, and did it.
Cynical conspiracism is just a convenient way for ignorant people to feel knowledgeable without knowing anything. You don't have to learn about REAL monopolistic behavior, you just make it up and people treat you like you know things.
These people have never in their lives given any of this a skeptical analysis.
I ain't saying shit, just telling you who would be after her. Corporate espionage is a thing, a rather big thing that can involve people dying for anothers gain
I'd think they're about as likely to kill her as big oil would be to kill someone who did something similar in their industry.
Maybe you're unfamiliar with big Ag, but they're the offspring of some of the most evil companies on Earth going back to the EIC who conquered India and got China hooked on opiates just to get tea, to the United Fruit Companies who installed puppet governments in Latin America, Africa and Asia to ensure steady supplies of tropical fruits to the West, to Monsanto the brains behind Agent Orange from the Vietnam War, or Cargill who owns substantial portions of the Amazon rainforest from piecemeal purchasing - often from shell companies - for future logging.
Big Ag are like the original evil capitalist megacorps before oil, before steel, before rail.
EDIT: the answer is probably that Musk is in collusion with them somehow, to which the response should be: ok, what about every other company that's slowly pushing internal combustion vehicles out of business?
Sure, but the point that needs to be driven across to these morons is: why didn't big oil kill Elon Musk (or, for that matter, Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning)?
The whole "kill them" is tongue in cheek for fucks sake. Idk why Reddit takes things so literally.
I said Big Ag is as likely to kill her as Big Oil would be to someone that threatens them, which means not really likely to literally kill them but definitely likely to take their shots at them.
The main reason why big whatever hasn't taken on Musk is that Musk develops critical infra for the US, so going against him is going against Uncle Sam.
Who specifically are you referring to that was murdered by big oil? The makers of modern electric cars weren't murdered, not were the inventors of hybrid motors.

Why? There's not really "big fertilizer." The farming industry is enormous and this would only cut down their costs and boost their profits.
What makes you think they'd be against this and want to use fertilizer that's more expensive?
