Why are things expensive?
4 companies control 55% to 85% of the meat market.
4 airlines control 80% of air travel.
3 companies control 92% of the soda market.
3 companies control 73% of the cereal market.
Why don't I hear about it?
6 companies control 90% of the news.
@misscygnette@Ms_April15@EarlyVoteAction@DogIsWagged@ScottPresler Since when are republicans Christians? The same ones trying to dehumanize immigrants. So by Republican standards, Jesus, who would have been an immigrant, wouldn’t have been allowed in the US. But Republicans are Christians. Go tell that lie someplace else.
New: Judge has just admonished Trump. Donald Trump was gesturing and audibly speaking in the direction of the potential juror who was being questioned, Judge Juan Merchan said after the juror left the courtroom. “Your client was audibly uttering," he told Trump's lawyers. "I will not have any jurors intimidated in the courtroom."
Serious question:
Did Trump attend any of his older kids graduations?
I paid exactly zero attention to Trump prior to his candidacy, so I legitimately have no idea.
I can’t imagine him taking time out of the day to do anything that wasn’t for himself, though.
@Angry_Staffer#PutinsPuppets and the reason they are so brazen & destructive - the DOJ let them walk Scot-free, with no repercussions at all, for constructing & aiding in an insurrection.
DOJ dropped the ball on Ginni, Senators, & congresspeople & that has put us & the world order at risk.
@Angry_Staffer In a very short period of time, we have moved from having having active Collaborators in Congress to what appears to be Infiltrators.
This is Soviet era, Eastern block corruption. Bought and paid for by corporations is one thing. But bought and paid for by foreign government?
@Angry_Staffer Chaos is the goal.
Long-term effect will be negative for everyone involved, politically, but hey -- in the short term it disrupts the government and that's all that matters.
Pretty short-sighted after such a long game, but Putin is desperate.
@Angry_Staffer I could not agree more. They are ruthless, unwavering and don’t really care if they lose, they just want to show the MAGA crowd how much hell they can raise. Unreal…
@Angry_Staffer Don’t they have only a one vote margin right now? All it takes for one more somewhat decent republican to retire, & Dems have the majority, right? I bet myself a week ago that it would happen within a month. Now I think it will be even sooner.
@Angry_Staffer@Cathleen60Scott And by "beholden to," do you mean "being blackmailed by"?
I really don't want to believe that so many in the GOP are willing to betray their country for money. They can't be doing it for power because this is going to cost them their seats/majority in Congress.
