Trump wanted to jam more hens into smaller spaces - making it harder for inspectors to access them - and making living conditions for egg laying hens worse. All so businesses could sell cheaper eggs.

Caitlin Johnstone @caitoz post reading:
The mass atrocity in Gaza is a genocide, obviously, and is an undisguised ethnic cleansing operation.

But it's also a lot more than that

It's an experiment — to see what kinds of abuses the public will accept without causing significant disruption to the imperial status quo.

It's a psychological operation — to push out the boundaries of what's normal and acceptable in our minds so that we will consent to even more horrific abuses in the future.
