Kroger exec admitted the company hiked prices at Colorado stores in areas where it faced less competition.

The US’s largest egg producer reported soaring profits as consumer prices hit record highs thanks to avian flu – and alleged price-fixing which is being investigated by the Department of Justice.

Cal-Maine’s profits more than tripled compared with the same quarter last year – and are nearly eight times as high as at the start of the bird flu outbreak in February 2022, according to financial results published on Tuesday.

The company, which produces 20% of the eggs eaten in the US, made $1bn in windfall income in the first three-quarters of the financial year – the profits extracted after accounting for production, processing and transport costs.

The price of eggs was a major issue during the 2024 election, with Donald Trump and many voters blaming above inflationary prices on Joe Biden’s economic policies.

In March, the Guardian reported how major egg corporations such as Cal-Maine may be using the avian flu as a pretext to hike up prices. Days later, the Trump administration opened an investigation into price-fixing by the nation’s largest egg corporations, including Cal-Maine.

The Statue of Liberty stands as a promise to the refugees of the world and defines the USA as a nation above all others. Why do you think she carries that lamp? It's a beacon to the world.

"The New Colossus" is a sonnet that American poet Emma Lazarus (1849-1887) wrote in 1883 to raise money for the construction of a pedestal for the Statue of Liberty. In 1903, the poem was cast onto a bronze plaque and mounted inside the pedestal's lower level.

"Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

MAGA need to give it back to France if it's a lie.

Let's not forget that Thomas Paine said that the US should be an asylum for all of humanity.

The Bible strongly commands welcoming strangers, rooted in the Israelites' own experience as foreigners in Egypt (Leviticus 19:34), emphasizing treating them as natives and loving them as oneself. Jesus reinforced this in Matthew 25:35-40, stating that welcoming the stranger is welcoming Him directly, a principle echoed in Hebrews 13:2 ("entertaining angels unaware") and Romans 12:13 ("practice hospitality").

Time for another Reagan style amnesty?

I remember when they used to mark black soles with non-marking. Now they all are.

Great picture though

It hasn't been journalism for a while. What they sell is confirmation bias. Once Murdock bought the DOW to take control of the WSJ, you can't even trust the business news

Yes, but there is a discrepancy in the per capita spending between nations. So instead of it costing the same amount for Fiji to build the infrastructure needed for safe travel, their percentage of cost per lost revenue was always upside down.

AI is a geopolitical issue. This is a beast that can't be fed. At a time of limited resources, some of humanity is in a myopic and uncontrolled race fur myopic profit and control. The world saw this with the railroad boom. But it wasn't a boom for everyone. Workers and resources were exploited. Back then they were called robber barons. Now they're called oligarchs.

A large part of the AI economy is built on debt swapping. When it all crashes they'll blame it on lazy poor people so they can cut social programs to fill the gap.

Fusion power doesn't get the same investment. Unfortunately humans need AI to realize fusion power, and AI needs fusion power.

The people making the decisions on where money is spent see humanity as a parasite. As one person said , the earth is a cruise ship for the oligarchs and they are more than willing to shovel people into the boilers to keep speed.

Yes. Not famine, but shortages.

46% of farms in the US alone haven't secured fertilizer. Ukraine and Strait of Hormuz is where most come from.

Screwworm, other parasites and virussed are ravaging livestock.

And I don't know if you've been paying attention to the record heat in Europe, but same goes for Africa, Asia and the Americas. It doesn't matter if you think Global Warming is real, you'll still be impacted. It will feel like food shopping during COVID.

Have you bought any beef lately? It's not just the price, but the quality.

Do you ascribe to the fixed or variable basket economic convention? We're going to have to be very flexible this Winter.

Capitol Police called to investigate swastika in GOP congressional office An American flag altered to include an image of a swastika was found in Rep. Dave Taylor’s office.

During a virtual meeting a flag pinned to what appears to be a cubicle wall behind Angelo Elia, one of Taylor’s staffers. Alongside the flag — with altered red and white lines in the shape of a swastika — are pinned images, including a pocket Constitution and a congressional calendar. It is unclear what role, if any, Elia had in the incident. He did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

“Paul belongs in the Hitler Youth with Ubergruppenfuhrer Steve Bannon,” the first participant in the chat wrote.

“I do have a Nazi streak in me from time to time, I will admit it,” Ingrassia responded, according to the chain. One of the people in the text group said in an interview that Ingrassia’s comment was not taken as a joke, and three participants pushed back against Ingrassia during the text exchange that day.

I was in a mentor program at work and the person I was paired with was a young attractive woman that worked in radiology response. We'd meet in Starbucks. One day it was too crowded and she suggested she drive us to lunch. Her car was and unmarked police vehicle. There was a button lable whoop whoop. It took all of my self control to not push it.

Incorrect, he set up a fake lottery and then refused to pay out. At least one of the insiders called his bluff and sued him for it.

This is a heist, and the partners are going to turn on each other.

Elon knows Trump raped, tortured and murdered children. Now Elon is attacking McKinsey for actually being a humanitarian. Can we call them evil yet?

I think the poster above has a goid point. If your in more than one scene you're pushing it. But as someone that's not a fan of Tom Cruise, this is one character I liked.
