While some pretend that Israel's conduct can singularly be pinned on Netanyahu, an Israeli lawmaker just called for merciless bombing of Gaza.
"We have no hostages [left]... We no longer have to be precise. We can attack without mercy. Merciless! MERCILESS!"

Tyson is closing a Nebraska plant that employs 3,200 workers in order to “right-size” its business.
The meatpacking giant paid its CEO $22.7M last year, 525x its median employee's pay.
It also spent $196M in stock buybacks to reward shareholders.
Textbook corporate greed.
