I am sure we will be seeing more and more of this as companies cut corners in the name of profit.

It doesn't help that Trump removed so many regulations for the meat industry, and Biden never replaced them.

The meat industry is essentially allowed to self report to 'free up' USDA health inspectors.

Factory grown meat is no longer reliably safe, and I suspect it's only a matter of time before a new preon outbreak occurs.

This is your reminder you should be already boycotting TJs as they joined a lawsuit with Musk and Bezos trying to claim the NLRB was unconstitutional because their employees are forming unions at such a quick rate as it's the only power they have. REI and Starbucks joined too.

I shopped at TJs for 17 years before that story broke this summer, haven't been in since. Money meet mouth.

It's not surprising that Starbucks joined but I didn't know about REI. What the hell, REI!

It's a bummer, but their economics were never far off from Nike..outsource manufacturing, low paid retail and a premium client base. The slide into anti-people was inevitable. They were clearly bad 3+ years ago, IIRC some of their store staff announced they were going to unionize and then suddenly they closed their headquarters store in Seattle. Same thing happened in Portland's pearl location under the cover of "safety"--straight out of Starbucks playbook from seattle--that the NLRB found them guilty of breaking labor law and forced them to negotiate with their employees as required by law.

You can understand why these douche companies want to get rid of NLRB...government isn't any fun when it pushes back against the powerful.

...just found this...certainly answers some questions https://www.geekwire.com/2021/longtime-amazon-retail-exec-joins-rei-as-its-first-chief-commercial-officer/

I didn’t know the British Navy was involved.
