Tyson is closing a Nebraska plant that employs 3,200 workers in order to “right-size” its business.
The meatpacking giant paid its CEO $22.7M last year, 525x its median employee's pay.
It also spent $196M in stock buybacks to reward shareholders.
Textbook corporate greed.

Coffee tariffs might have appealed to a narrow slice of the population out here in Hawaii, but really we’re a lot like most people in the rest of America. We have jobs that aren’t helped by tariffs, and we buy groceries that recently used to cost a lot less.
