Oh look NOW the media is asking questions they should have been asking months ago. If you have any kind of subscription to billionaire newspapers now is the time to give this money to local independent journalism.
You are right about people not caring, but he way it was presented mattered too. None of those were "front page above the fold" news, you'd have to dig down into the opinion section to find it.
NYT engaged in some of the most egregious sanewashing of Trump initiatives during his campaign and I will forever remember that.
They also plan to kick away the safeguards around chicken processing so while that price might come down (also hard to say, since undocumented also make up a chunk of that workforce), the chances of it having salmonella are probably going to go up.
Some percent of chicken already does, for sure. I'm saying that percentage is going to go up, probably a lot. Iirc chicken packages have a processor number printed on them, and you can look up statistics on how many times salmonella was found there.
If Republicans were really for the working class they wouldn't need it spelled out for them. The billionaires they simp love paying migrants below minimum wage and thraten to deport them for quick and easy profits from workers that cant refuse and cant go to the cops. Its a labor and power move no one cares about until we pull another underage Guatamalan migrat carcass out from the bandsaws in meat processing plants.
