He appears to doze off during events.
His public appearances mostly occur during a short window: Between noon and 5pm.
He sits while others stand.
His covers bruises with makeup.
He had an MRI scan that he tried to hide from the public.

Tyson is closing a Nebraska plant that employs 3,200 workers in order to “right-size” its business.
The meatpacking giant paid its CEO $22.7M last year, 525x its median employee's pay.
It also spent $196M in stock buybacks to reward shareholders.

The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone — period.
