Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Anyone taking wagers that they did some of that famous capitalist innovation and were feeding birds that had been culled for flu exposure to the cows?
I can imagine a high level person at the DOJ giving a press conference "The EvilFactoryFarming division of EvilCorp had agreed to pay a fine of $10 million without admitting wrong doing. This is a significant monetary judgment in what the media calls the "sick culled birds recycling project". We believe it will cause companies to think twice before they..."
What the DOJ neglects to mention is that the "sick culled birds recycling project" was an in-house term because - in a shocker - everybody at EvilCorp is gleefully evil. The execs lampoon the DOJ judgment as a "transaction cost" or if they are being especially playful a "rounding error".
