Tyson is one of just a few companies that controls the entire meat market.
Just last month, it paid $85M to settle charges it illegally conspired with other meatpackers to raise pork prices.

Tyson CEO Donnie King made $22.7 million last year.
The week before Thanksgiving, he told 3,200 workers in Lexington, Nebraska that they're losing their jobs.

Not sure if anyone caught the Michael Wolff interview about Epstein on Legal AF but here it is. I think my question about it still stands - was he trying to defend Epstein? Was he doing it out of the goodness of his heart to protect the world from Trump? I'm not buying it.

The context here is that New was sucking up to Epstein and talking about his favorite subject, raping children, because New wanted Epstein to donate to her charitable foundation, which Epstein did do.
