Yeah I thought it was monopsony but my autocorrect gave me that incorrect spelling and I didn't bother to double check.

Actual farmers are usually held hostage by the agro-giants who buy their product. In most markets there's a Monoposony - like a monopoly but a single buyer who can set prices and terms, rather than a single seller.

Industry behavior is driven by these companies who have all the power. They leave farmers with all of the risk and take all the profit for themselves.

"If a DSA member like Mamdani were to win ... it would be terrible for the city," reads the Third Way memo. "Do New Yorkers really want socialist city-run grocery stores?"

According to an April survey by the Climate & Community Institute and Data for Progress, they do. Two-thirds of New Yorkers said they support the creation of municipal grocery stores ... including 72% of Democratic voters ... Third Way executive vice president Matt Bennett insisted in an interview with Politico on Saturday that a Mamdani victory would allow Republicans to attach the Democratic Party "to ideas that are outside of the mainstream" on a national level.

Just classic establishment Dems here: attacking a wildly popular policy and supporting a corrupt sex offender to avoid fascists calling you a commie.

It's not the smoking of bare foot pets that's prohibited in the building, that's just silly. Bare foot pets just have to stay outside the building while smoking. And rightly so.

If your pot bellied pig tries to go indoors without putting on shoes or putting out his cigarello first, that's on you for being a bad parent.

Yeah it really stands out.

Either it's a lie and feds installed a keylogger remotely after the tip off from the Roblox user mentioned, Or the "matyr" had behavior problematic enough that even their family were concerned.

Earlier reporting mentioned that the church was being investigated for child trafficking and talked about the use of Chin, a minority language from the very poor, war-torn and 90% christian state of Chin in Myanmar.

Cosmetic injustices like this are an intentional distraction from the regime's attempts to steal all public funds, kill Americans who need Medicaid, continue their ethnic cleansing campaign at home and support Israel and Russia's ongoing genocides.

This is correct. The look is referred to as "mar-a-lago face" and it fits in the long tradition of extreme elite modification to the head, like artificial cranial deformation.

Medicare part C just needs to go. When something only exists to hoover up the life savings of the dying, it is not serving a valid purpose.

OP mentions being gay and sexually active in comments from over a day ago. So you're kinda 0 for 3, since I don't think accusing an out gay person of being closeted counts as accurate.

The coup is appointing apparatchiks to solidify their control over the military.
