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.
Corporate monopolies are great for executives and a raw deal for everyone else.

12 is young; babies having babies. More to the point, absolutely no conservation value, another baby condemned to lead a deprived life and likely die prematurely. Tragic.
One of the National Zoo’s Asian elephants is pregnant and could give birth within the next few months, potentially bringing the zoo its first elephant calf in 25 years.

It's not a foolproof plan but every political debate from now on should be a Normal Guy competition. Ask them to describe grocery shopping in detail. Talk about what it's like to have a friend

Very bad news. Teen Vogue was doing work other journalists were not.
I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day.
certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.
