Austin severs ties with Urban Alchemy over data mishandling allegations

This is great news for our city. Urban Alchemy demonstrated they were run like a criminal enterprise, and kept people silent through retaliation and intimidation. There's a mountain of "allegations" against them, I'm glad something finally stuck. Kudos to the city for taking this step, other cities are having similar problems with them but haven't gone this far yet.

Trump Sues Safeway Circular For False Ham Claims

"The Safeway circular has treated me very badly. They say you can taste the homestyle difference, but you cannot, and there’s no way that ham can be $8.99 per pound after I brought grocery prices to an all-time low. However, that’s nothing compared to the horrendous ham prices we saw under Biden.”
