4 corporations dominate the U.S. meatpacking industry.

In 1977, they owned just 25% of the market.

Today, they control 85%.

Meanwhile, cattle ranchers used to receive 62 cents for every consumer dollar spent on beef.

Now, they receive just 37 cents.

DAILY REMINDER: Today's MAGA GOP is a white nationalist, FASCIST movement that seeks to turn their religious beliefs into US law. They must be politically defeated in order to save our democratic Republic. Period.
The guy who wants to put neurolinks in our heads worries about people knowing where he is.
Anyone still on twitter please tell people to follow me here!! ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป I didnโ€™t have a chance to post about my Mostodon bc Musk was banning links to it #twitter #tech #technews #twitterexodus #TwitterMiragration

I don't think journalists (in general) -- and certainly not the organizations they work for -- fully understand the threat Musk represents to the future of free expression and journalism itself.

Begging him to reinstate the banned accounts is pure folly. It is bended-knee supplication to a sociopath who now controls a powerful media company. But the power of his company depends in no small degree on keeping journalists there.

Leave. Now.
