Walmart is rolling out digital price tags at all of its stores. At the same time, the corporate giant just secured a patent for "dynamically and automatically updating item prices.” Plus another patent for using machine learning to predict demand and recommend prices.

Japanese Report: "Why didn't you tell US allies about the war before attacking Iran?" Donald Trump: "Who knows better about surprises then Japan. Why didn't you tell me about Pearl Harbor?" This man belong in a psychiatric ward.

🚨 BREAKING: Strike reported near Israel’s Haifa oil refinery A strike was reported in the vicinity of the Bazan Group refinery in Haifa Bay — the backbone of Israel’s energy infrastructure and one of the country’s most strategically sensitive sites. The facility is the country’s largest refinery, supplying roughly half of Israel’s gasoline and diesel, with a capacity of about 197,000 barrels per day — nearly double the size of the country’s only other refinery in Ashdod, and central to domestic fuel supply. Extent of damage was not immediately clear.

Up until 2016 about it was legal for huge companies to use arsenic in the chicken feed to “promote growth,” ie fatten up the chicken before slaughter. The arsenic also gave chickens a slightly more pink hue as well. This has been stopped, but from 1940-2016 Americans were consuming chicken with arsenic intentionally added to it. They got away with this because the arsenic added was a less toxic form, but it was later discovered that this form of arsenic could be converted to the inorganic form of arsenic (highly toxic) in the chickens body through methylation cycles. Companies since have used other methods to fatten up chicken before slaughter. Crazy what they have done to the food supply, and these criminal companies never get prosecuted for poisoning people, at scale.

In 2015, Disney called 250 IT workers into a meeting. They thought they were getting bonuses. Disney told them they were being replaced by workers flown in from India on H-1B visas, and if they didn't spend the next 90 days training those replacements, they'd lose their severance. Leo Perrero testified before Congress about it. Appeared on 60 Minutes. "Someone was flown in from another country to sit at my same desk and take over what I was doing. It was the most humiliating thing I've ever gone through in my life." Two workers sued Disney, HCL, and Cognizant for colluding to illegally displace American workers. Courts dismissed it. Disney Magic.

Empires fall suddenly. And what follows is not a new world order, but decades, even centuries, of chaos.
