Not needing GMOs is not the same as GMOs not presenting tremendous advantages. With GMOs comes the opportunity to produce more food and better food with less human labor.
The advance of robotics presents us with an opportunity to eradicate all weeds in a manner that is completely effective and uses no poisons. Weed-picking robots can be effective against all varieties of weeds, even those that don't exist now.
For densely grown crops (like tomatoes) weed blocking fabric is effective and already in use.
Just like anti-biotic [sic] reliance will lead to a disastrous collapse in our medical care,
An unjustified claim and probably not true. Unlike all other known species, humankind has a powerful intelligence that can develop a wide array of methods to fight diseases. Not only are there antibiotics, antivirals, antifungals, etc., there are other ways to fight infectious diseases such as quarantine, building up the general health of potential victims, and vaccines.
pesticide reliance is steering us to a catastrophic collapse in our agricultural output.
Also unjustified, and with agriculture humankind is in an even more powerful position. We aren't reliant on a single species of plant, animal, or microorganism, and if one goes extinct we can use different ones. We can also use conventional hybridization and genetic modification to create new species that are more vigorous, more nutritious, more tolerant of drought or flood, or have other desirable characteristics. We can invent new pesticides, both broad and narrow spectrum. We can develop new predators that attack pernicious species.
our overpopulation.
And your hidden agenda is revealed. You hate humanity.
All those people wailing about species going extinct are going to be delighted to learn that GMO plants are extinction-proof, unlike every other living thing.
What's more, you wind up creating a mono-culture that's susceptible to sudden changes that the plants are no longer protected against and the genes pretty much always wind up spreading to other plants that weren't specifically targeted for "improvement."
I see that you don't recognize that you've just made an argument and refuted it, all in one run-on sentence.
The rest of your post if chock full of false limiting assumptions, hyperbole, and silly panic.
Farmers don't watch their crops? Licensing agreements for GMO organisms forbid farmers from watching those organisms as they grow? You took your stupid pills this morning, didn't you.
They guy was damaging the performance of a lawful entity with his illegal equipment. He was degrading the service to T-Mobile's customers. He should be out there apologizing to T-Moblile's customers and paying them damages.
For a while, some manufacturers dithered the CPU frequency in order to pass FCC specs. Dithering didn't make the computer quieter (in fact, it made FM interference worse) but it allowed shoddy makers to save a bit of money versus a good design.
Grow a brain, fool. Republicans want those now poor to work and produce something worthwhile, which will benefit those newly working and the nation as a whole.
The job of a union leader should be to advance the job-related interests of the members of that union. In practice, that's window dressing, and union leaders work to increase their income and power.

Demand all you want, just like all the other two-year-olds.

There are many species of birds that are not insectivores.
Dill is an essential ingredient in many tasty foods.
Bees are insects of the order Hymenoptera. Bugs are insects of the order Hemiptera. Bees are not bugs.

You deliberately ignored the word "primarily". Most pesticides can be almost entirely washed off.

The abbreviation you want is e.g., not i.e.
Your banana claim is false. There are still small areas of old-style banana production.

Even a battery by itself creates emissions. It's a static electric field; it can be calculated and measured.
Watching television and playing video games are values in their own right, bringing entertainment to the user. They are the end products.
Cryptocurrency is not an end product, it is a sham pretending to replace real money. It adds nothing of value to humanity.
Never heard of reciprocity, have you?
Would you like to buy some of these magnetic monopoles?
You think that the United States is the only country making images of the north pole from orbit?
