Why is the prevailing story in the media “the price of eggs is high” and not “record windfall profits from food and oil companies” ??

America’s largest egg producer Cal-Maine reported a record quarterly profit of $198 million

Anti-poverty charity Oxfam is calling for governments to impose windfall taxes on large food companies

THAT’S the story.

Corporations are predators. We're their prey. They need to be regulated to PROTECT us from them as CONSUMERS, and they fight those regulations. We also need regulations to PROTECT us from them as EMPLOYEES. They also fight tooth and nail against those protections, too. Maybe someone smarter than me can tell me why we CONTINUE TO ALLOW THIS??? Because I just don't understand why we continue to tolerate this abject abuse.

@MysticaRose literally this.

Someone must know, right? Children laboring in lithium mines😔 Suicide nets at Foxconn. Ever increasing prices for SURVIVAL NECESSITIES, food, water, shelter. The CEO of Delta asks for the Covid quarantine time to be halved and the CDC does so🤬 Fossil fuel execs at the climate conference. And we just tolerate it.

Make it make sense🤨

@MysticaRose evil usually wins. I hope this helps the world make sense.

@flexghost

If by evil you mean people with a fuck ton of money, then yes, I certainly understand that but why do we still allow it?
