Why Are Chicken Plant Workers Forced To Wear Diapers On The Job?#ItCouldBeWorse
According to Vice News, Oxfam conducted three years worth of research at Tyson Foods, Perdue Farms, Sanderson Farms, and Pilgrim's Pride, including conducting hundreds of interviews. They found that the pressure of keeping up with the speed of the production line was so great that workers taken to wearing Pampers instead of trying to go to the bathroom. In many cases, workers could only go to the bathroom during a half-hour lunch break, a feat made impossible by the fact that they would have to take off their uniforms, eat lunch, wait in line for the bathroom, and then go back to work, all in that short period of time.

Report: China continues to subsidize deadly fentanyl exports [to the US]China helps Russia with its invasion of Ukraine, encourages N. Korea to assist as well, and kills tens of thousands of Americans a year subsidizing fentanyl ingredients. As if we needed more evidence that China intends us harm.
Investigators for a U.S. House committee released a report on Tuesday detailing what they describe as new evidence the Chinese government is continuing to "directly" subsidize "the manufacturing and export of illicit fentanyl."
According to the report, Chinese officials encourage production of precursor chemicals by giving "monetary grants and awards to companies openly trafficking illicit fentanyl materials."
Specifically, researchers found companies making fentanyl precursors and analogues could apply for state tax rebates and other financial benefits after exporting the product.

That's a very ignorant thing to say. Whores provide sexual services for free, while prostitutes charge for their services.
Melania Trump renegotiated her prenuptial agreement with Donald Trump because his 2024 presidential campaign needed her to be more visible. It was revealed earlier this week that the former first lady renegotiated her marriage contract with Trump to ensure she will be left with plenty of money in the case he drains his bank account paying legal fees for his multiple indictments.Melania is no whore. Educate yourself!
The recent renegotiation was at least the second time since 2016 that Melania amended her prenup. She also revised it after Trump became president when she did not immediately move to the White House to live with him.
