Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.

MODERATORS
Every single major retailer with a deli section near me has switched to boar's head within the last 2-3 years... guess they undercut everyone else on bids and got good contracts by violating health and safety laws, the American capitalist way!
And yet boar's head is consistently more expensive than anything else.
Nobody said the cost savings was gonna get passed to the consumer. What are ya, a commie?
Stores love the markup
Consumers HATE this one simple trick!
In Nov 2020, the person that ran things for years died, and control passed to other family members that immediately sued each other.
I’m any case, seems greed likely started to drive everything, they pushed expansion over safety, and wound up killing people.
Thank god this is an isolated incident in corporate America. /s
In
Chiquita, Nestle, and Boeing have entered the chat.
Boeing and Boar's head are killing people because of incompetence and cost cutting. Chiquita and Nestle go out in the jungle and massacre people at regular intervals just because those people don't want to be slaves and having to pay workers hurts the bottom line.
I put them in different categories.
new season of succession fell off
a story as old as time.... one person spends their life building an empire, their spoiled brat children immediately tear it down screaming
40 years ago they were one of the top brands for quality
I feel you could say this about every american company that has been around for 40 plus years. Enshittification is a real bitch
I remember that! They were more a specialty brand that you'd find in more upscale grocery stores. Now they're just boring, apparently disgusting, processed meat like every other brand.
Having managed a supermarket for about 6 years, I can tell you it's because of the service, consistent quality and variety of choices. Their service model is similar to many of the larger bread vendors in that they sell via consignment. So you only buy what you open to sell, and they take back anything that expires or looks dodgy. Their sales reps maintain your inventory and place your orders, really saving you alot of time and reducing your risk.
Im glad the German deli and regional super market go through more local organizations. Im also glad we can maintain damned near every type of livestock as well.
