    I'm sorry, this article reads like something a low-level HR drone was ordered to write with the help of AI. "Come up with an excuse we can feed to the board of directors about why …

    The ban as you described it is pretty specific. Would it be ok for someone to spray chemicals and metals for other reasons and not to induce rain by cloud-seeding? Crop-dusting mig…
