Welcome to Thunderdome

Cargill laying off 5% of its workforce (translates to about 8K people).

Bloomberg reported earlier this year that the famously tight-lipped behemoth’s profits had fallen to $2.48 billion in the fiscal year ending in May. This was less than half of the record $6.7 billion it made from 2021 to 2022, and also the lowest profit since 2016.

That sounds like mismanagement not market forces.

I've never quite understood it. Especially when they are just a couple blocks from each other. (Mattress Firm)

Insurance company to start limiting anesthesia coverage time.

I guess their CEO hasn't been watching the news lately?

They already back-tracked on it, maybe after reading the news.

Damn. That was fast! I, literally, just opened the article on CNN.

Go get any procedures done ASAP. I have a feeling your insurance companies are going to be approval happy for a few days.

Fuck me. 35 minutes ago. The MSM really is dead.

Another follow up:

This is a "journalist" that works at the Washington Post. We've covered this psycho before. She's the one who doxxed the LibsofTikTok lady.

She's doing this on BlueSky where you get immediately permabanned if you say there are only 2 genders, but advocating for the murder of people and listing them is a-ok.

It's kind of funny.

They left X because they said it was full of evil fascist pedophiles who all also happen to be trump voters.

I've been seeing rumors lately that after the influx, they're complaining that bluesky is filling up with evil fascist pedophiles. They're blaming trump voters. One has to wonder if there is a simpler solution.

I wasn't on twitter or reddit yesterday, came back to both today. And sooo much hate for the health insurance executives

What do you call a health insurance CEO getting assassinated in NYC?

A good start.

You heard it here first.

They're going to be rolling with security teams, henceforth.

Lots of CEOs already have security, and have had it for years. I know Michael Dell has security and he's not actively getting people killed.

Inflation "heating back up".

Albertsons ends merger with Kroger and then sues them.

A judge blocked the merger saying it would kill competition. Not really sure how that's Kroger's fault?

Since Biden's still in office...

Thanks, Trump.

Nope. If Trump can be blamed for stuff happening now, then Biden is the previous administration

It's just a joke, yall. jeez.

Oh... a joke.... I knew that.

It was just mildly amusing because before you said that I was thinking "thanks biden." But his term was already judged to be a disaster, so no need piling on. He's already on the way out.

Inflation up to 2.9%.
