It’s not just eggs. Since 2020:

The price of bread is up 22%

Flour up 21%

Butter is up 31%

Meanwhile, food giant Cargill saw its profit double to a record $6.7B.

Follow the money, and the story is clear: Food corporations are using inflation as cover to jack up prices.

[Norman Law @nlaw]

Tell me again how wave inflation is causing rising prices?

[CNN @CNN]

Cal-Maine Foods, the largest egg producer in the United States, reported revenue doubled and profit surged 718% last quarter because of sharply higher egg prices https://t.co/lcerlPHPLk

@Carnage4Life Think it will also have cascading impacts on all of those software vendors that work with those hr, legal, and it departments. Don’t need to spend so much on those things anymore

It’s a great question why wage inflation is seen as so bad but corporate profit/price increasing hasn’t even been considered as a problem. Logically if wages are increasing but profits are increasing faster than wage increase, wages aren’t the problem.

[The Problem With Jon Stewart @TheProblem]

What’s the cause of rising prices? We unpack why working people are blamed for inflation and investigate its true causes. Hint: corporate greed might have something to do with it. Watch “The Inflation Blame Game” now on @appletvplus.

Think people overlook where the development is happening. It’s not just about data it’s who is adding to the code base and models?

[NowThis Impact @nowthisimpact]

TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew to U.S. lawmakers: ‘I don’t think ownership is the issue here. With a lot of respect, American social companies don’t have a good track record with data privacy and user security. I mean, look at Facebook and Cambridge Analytica — just one example.’

You know chatGPT has hit main stream when my 75 year old mother in law asks me about it

[Norman Law @nlaw]

@gregmushen It’s the next wave of crypto hanger ons.

[Norman Law @nlaw]

@johncutlefish Same about how there has to be a bottom performer.

All I hear in my head when I read about what’s going on with the house speaker votes. #Speakerofthehouse #youdonthavethevotes #congress

@johncutlefish I think there are different ways people define bad meetings as well. Some feel they didn’t need to be there while others feel like nothing came out of it. Each participant may have a different expectation.

With the layoffs in the tech industry right now, the natural thing to focus on are the losses:

Loss of a job
Loss of income
Loss of certainty
Loss of a shared mission
Loss of cherished colleagues
Loss of a dream, purpose or identity

These losses hurt, like a fresh-cut wound ↓
