Bayer Reports Glyphosate Shortages Following Executive Order

This event involves a Trump executive order affecting domestic glyphosate supply, reported by Bayer as causing U.S.-specific shortages. Constitutional impact is minimal: rule_of_law scores 1 (executive order is standard policy mechanism, no legal norm violation evident), capture scores 2 (agricultural/chemical industry policy intersection raises mild regulatory capture questions). No election interference, separation of powers issues, civil rights impacts, corruption indicators, or violence present. Mechanism modifier 1.15 for policy_change with federal scope. Final A-score 3.91 is well below threshold of 25. B-score shows moderate media interest (agricultural policy, corporate response, Trump action) but lacks viral elements or strategic distraction markers. With A<25, no clear constitutional mechanism, and routine policy characteristics, this classifies as Noise - a standard agricultural policy adjustment with corporate supply chain implications but no significant constitutional dimension.
