NEW: Over the past year, a spate of suicides has revealed a financial crisis in New York's cab industry. Officials have blamed Uber, but much of the crisis can be traced to a handful of taxi tycoons. Here’s the real story, based on 10 months of reporting: nytimes.com/2019/05/19/nyreg…

On a purely gut level, I never understood why “he’s the Manchurian candidate” seemed like a more fascinating narrative to any person paid to cover this than the far more interesting “he’s an unscrupulous businessman with a soft spot for brutal authoritarians who are nice to him”

What a disgusting thing to say about dozens of American workers who just lost their jobs.
“Ax falls quickly at BuzzFeed and Huffpost!” Headline, New York Post. Fake News and bad journalism have caused a big downturn. Sadly, many others will follow. The people want the Truth!

Topical take from the smartest food-industry reporter around.
Food monopolies overcharge consumers but escape scrutiny because they kept food safe (avoiding type of outrage that led "Meat Trust" to be broken up 100 yrs ago). Romaine lettuce and Turkey show that monopolies undercut food safety. W/no accountability, problems follow.

Who was it that said the Saudis have messed with the wrong newspaper? If they think this is going away without answers, they must have had some other paper in mind.

I really just want to quit everything and create a six-part investigative podcast about the actual, secret lives of the people who run social media for all the fast food places.

Great opportunity to reread this @wagnerreports classic. xitter.cf/Publici/status/9986143…
Federal officials have opened an investigation of Warren Buffett's mobile home business. In 2015, we collaborated with @seattletimes to report on how Buffet's Clayton Homes often trapped low-income borrowers with high-interest loans. bit.ly/1Ga0jz9

Anthony Bourdain is eating spaghetti pizza and pumpkin pie cake. I’m from southern WV and no one I know has heard of that. Bring on the ramps & pepperoni rolls. @PartsUnknownCNN

Now he’s eating tons of game meat, cafeteria food, and burgers and dogs. I guess the lady who cooks from a spiral-bound church cookbook is the most authentic part after all. How often is anyone going to see bear meat?
