Nobody ever likes this answer, but it’s the truth.

My knowledge is more related to the meat side of things than the egg side honestly, but here’s a citation: 70 percent of chicken farmers with no other job live below the poverty line. That’s not people who work on a chicken farm (although they’re certainly not paid well either), that’s the people who own it.
These farms may technically be ‘small scale’ in that they aren’t owned by a giant corporation, but they often contain multiple times as many chickens as their European counterparts, in more crowded conditions, which is part of why disease spreads so fast.
For meat, the reason the farmers are in this mess is because separate companies buy and process the chicken, and they won’t buy from you if you don’t follow their arbitrary and frequently changing guidelines. They also don’t pay a given amount per pound, they pay you depending on the yields other chicken farmers got on their farms. And the farmers don’t have another place to sell their chickens, it’s these companies or nothing, as 20 companies control basically the entire US market.
It’s illegal in Georgia for anyone other than poll workers to give people water while they stand in line to vote. Also, it’s not mandated that poll workers do so.
Seems relevant when it comes to paying voters.
It doesn’t have to be gay sex, is the thing. You can criticize homophobes without engaging in homophobia yourself. “But they’re the ones that are upset by it, so in this situation homophobia is okay” is a bad excuse for it, and it also glosses over that they are not the only ones affected by homophobic imagery.
JD Vance is a racist, would you cheer on images that depict him marrying a non-white woman as shameful? If you are more comfortable with one than the other, you should ask yourself why.
On the off chance this is a genuine question, Trump is depicted as subservient to Putin and bad for the US in this image. While both of those things can be true, the way this was conveyed visually was with gay oral sex. Portraying politicians you don’t like engaged in gay sex is only a snappy own if you accept the right wing position that gay sex is shameful and exploitative. You don’t have to do that to criticize them.
For such a long article it’s really disappointing they didn’t at all go into how chicken farmers themselves are ratfucked by contracts with processing plants and live below the poverty line if they don’t have a second job.

Another terrible death related thing: after a while, sometimes after bad news you’ll think “I’m glad [person] didn’t have to live to see this.”
Ever since this broke I’ve been so curious to see which are dealers with bad, rushed paperwork before a deadline that they let pile up before mass-submitting, and how many are outright fraud. Neither would surprise me at this point.
I think the largest US plane crash in the past 20+ years having happened within the past 3 months might have something to do with the increased reporting, not politics.
