Does Heritage Support Discrimination Against Women?
The organization’s recent hiring reveals a willingness to countenance views decisively outside the American mainstream.

Five corporations control 90% of the US media market.

Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today.

Four giants control 80% of meat processing.

The evidence of corporate consolidation is everywhere.

It means more power for them and less freedom for you.
Netflix's $83 billion takeover of Warner Bros Discovery would mean more corporate consolidation.

Netflix, by far the #1 streamer, would take over HBO Max, the #3 streaming service.

This giant merger could violate antitrust law and hurt consumers.

The collective 7.5% tax rate paid over 7 years by American, Delta, JetBlue, Southwest and United is about half the 14.5% paid by the average U.S. household in 2022.

Counting only Delta, Southwest and United—the collective tax rate declines to 4%.
