“The crisis facing Tyson workers is driven by one major factor: corporate consolidation. The “Big Four” (Tyson, Cargill, JBS, & National Beef) own 80%+ of the US beef industry. They colluded to fix prices from what customers pay at the grocery store to the price ranchers receive for livestock.”
Now watch as the CEO does a stock buy back to make millions for himself and the stockholders. That's how that works.
After having cancer 2x, living w/Lupus surviving two brain surgeries, I'm so grateful to be alive. I also want you to know that I suffer from anxiety after almost 20 years of chronic illness & disability. There are times I can't leave my home, but I do, thanks a service dog & YOUR love. Thank YOU!🙏💜
Walmart spent $43.4B on stock buybacks from 2019 to 2025, enough to give each of its 2.1M workers annual bonuses of $2,953. Last year, retiring CEO Doug McMillon pocketed $29.2M — his largest payday ever and 958x Walmart's median worker pay of $30,520. Textbook corporate greed.
I think most people have at least once looked at the news and decided to try making enough food in a home garden to be self sufficient, then realized fairly quickly that it's almost impossible these days, and that if we can't build communities that share safe food, we're all screwed.
I am officially down 70 pounds!!! Was 250; Now, 180 It’s been a LONG back and forth journey to get here. Exercise and calorie counting helped me with the last 10 pounds and I still have 10 more pounds to go to get in the healthier range of my BMI. Hopefully, my GUT will be gone by then.
I’ll always remember Dolly Parton for the fact that she donated $1 million in 2020 to the research that led to Moderna’s COVID vaccine, as well as millions more for childhood vaccine and cancer research. She was an immensely talented, kind, and giving person.
So we all need to grow weed to save the bees?? I can get on board with that!
At this rate, Mitch is the only vegetable that has not yet been recalled! 😅
Diarrhea in the lettuce, glass in the popsicles, E. Coli in the berries, screw worms in the beef, salmonella in the chicken & eggs, listeria in everything else. Man I love deregulation. Libertarianism is such a great philosophy.
Thou must avoid eating jalapeños, salsa, guacamole, pico de gallo, iceberg lettuce, shredded lettuce, eggs, frozen blueberries, frozen mixed berries, ricotta, requesón, cuajada, tomato bisque soup, super greens, and moringa unless thou wishes to have explosive RFK Jr. diarrhea.
If I can’t afford food then I damn sure can’t afford to donate to a political campaign.
I'm old enough to crap rust and today is my birthday. I asked my wife for a special birthday present. I asked her to send $100 to Niall Harbison in Thailand to support the Happy Doggo rescue and she instantly agreed. My best birthday present in 72 years...
The American public has an attitude of entitlement when it comes to Democrats repairing Republican damage. Reality shows that it's more like cleaning up an oil spill. But the American public wants it done in 30 minutes or less like Domino's Pizza, or they get pissy and let the Republicans back in.
Let me get this right? There’s been a massive number of lynchings in the US over the past year and we are not hearing about this from the NYT, WaPo, LA Times, or any other major outlet? Can we get @propublica.org to cover this?
I have some very sad news. My Sissy just died. I feel so desperately sad. She was my baby, my emotional support dog. Now, I don't have her with me to cuddle up with me. This is a very sad, sad day for me. I don't think my heart will ever heal from heartbreak. Rest in peace, my beloved baby.
A young mother of four was found hanging from a tree in Mississippi. Now a local council member is calling for a federal investigation into Tasia Fortune’s death. Her case comes as questions still surround the death of 18-year-old Nolan Wells. Suri Crowe reports.
Note to the media: Those of us who have problems w Flock cameras are not "anti-tech". I use tech every day. It's a tool. What I resent is a police state using tech to spy on citizens with a presumption of guilt. I'm not anti-tech, I'm anti-authoritarianism. It's why we have a Constitution FFS.

Weird how every time the economy struggles, CEO pay goes up and ordinary workers get shafted by every single entity that already takes our money. Almost as if the whole system is corrupt.
Begging folks to wake up and realize that the massive increase in food borne illness and infectious diseases is not an accident. This was always the goal. The regime removed protections because they want “the vulnerable” to die. Fascism and eugenics go hand in hand.

Federal data suggests that this is a particularly bad summer for foodborne illness outbreaks in the US.

Forged by the Sea shouldn’t mean abandoned at sea.
I believe it’s all intentional. The draining of the treasury on vanity projects while Americans starve. The degrading of our military, demoralizing troops. The division stirred among us. Trump is a traitor taking orders from a foreign power. AMERICA IS THE DECOY PLANE. Are Republicans in on it?
🚨EXCLUSIVE: Military families and service members are now describing horrific conditions across MULTIPLE ships: human waste flooding bathrooms, virtually no food, water or soap, months without port calls, exhausted crews, and no end in sight. This crisis is far bigger than just the Lincoln.

“The police told me there was a credible threat” “The police say they didn’t.” “This was a different police. You wouldn’t know this police. They go to another school.”
Did you guys know that if you gave people all of the resources they needed to survive, they would have ALL of the motivation to work for extra things like: vacations, technology, jewelry, entertainment, restaurants, etc. Those would be the things that push people to work hard beyond comfort.
