By the way, it turns out that Hillandale Farms, where the massive fire took place Saturday, is not really the 4th largest supplier of eggs in the country. It is owned by the BIGGEST supplier of eggs, Cal-Maine Foods.
Interesting side note: I only found out that Cal-Maine owns Hillandale by watching an old Youtube video on DIY chicken feed. Not even the AG of NY mentions the connection in her gouging action against Hillandale from 2020. I have questions.🤔 ag.ny.gov/press-release/…
Not a word about the parent company.
I'm dying to crack a joke about shell companies, but I don't want to end up with egg on my face.
@USDA for their part never crack wise. Their egg report for this week says everything's cool. Light to moderate demand being easily met. If you don't mind paying 10 bucks a dozen. ams.usda.gov/mnreports/aj_p…

@RonDeSantisFL has done the country an enormous service by casting out AP African American Studies from Florida. So I'm going to return the favor by examining the curriculum in some detail. 🧵
My 1st conclusion, having read the whole thing, is that this is plain, old-fashioned BLACK STUDIES.
Now, Black Studies was a child of the 60s, much like the Black Power movement, with which it is closely associated. It's out of fashion on college campuses, but is still alive.
Now, why do I conclude this is Black Studies? Well, it's in the first module of Unit 1.
Never forget: South Africa is the inspiration and model for what is being done in the US. Once wealthy and high functioning, its power grid is now on the brink of collapse, as is the corrupt ANC-run government that ruined it.
Government corruption literally ruined the power supply in South Africa. And when the CEO of the power company tried to get to the bottom of it, they poisoned his coffee in an attempt to assassinate him. eebi.co.za/articles/post/…
Beware of PublicPrivatePartnerships. Once the state taps into your critical industries, you'll never get them out.
I appreciate all the engagement and new followers I've picked up from doing some deep dives into the Jackson, MS #watercrisis.
We have to learn to "read" these partly real/partly fictionalized stories for what they are: an attempt by one party to change how we see the world.
Maybe Mayor Chokwe Antar Lumumba is competent in some respects, but he's utterly failed to keep the water flowing, despite repeated efforts by the Feds and the State to make him.
And the White House is rewarding him by making him a hero. He's not a hero. This is all politics.
We have to learn enough about "big" stories like this to push back on the awful "narrative" foisted on us by the international media conglomerates and the DC Deep State. It's a bit easier here because while the city is blue, the state is red, and so the local media is mostly ok.
@plzbepatient Yesterday we heard the water plant was broken, irreparably. They said water was gone "indefinitely," and they'd need $1B to fix it.
Today, the EPA and Army Corps of Engineers showed up, turned the system on, and it seems to be working fine. Can't make this up.🤔
@plzbepatient They "reassigned" the head of Public Works. You'll see he had nothing resembling an engineering background.
@plzbepatient Update for Friday, Sept 2. Whew. The national media is playing this story up for all it's worth, but are they informing anyone what's actually going on in Jackson? Not so much. Here's a story that aired on GMA today. Let's take a quick look.
