Never let a good crisis go to waste, or so the saying goes.
replyThe consolidation of food production in the US is a risk to us all.
have you ever seen the documentary food inc?
replyBack then I had done the math on how long it takes to turn around a commercial chicken coop after a complete full. The timeline from egg to fully producing hen was quicker than I thought, and it seemed they should have been able to keep up the replacement rates.
replyThe US economy is jampacked with collusion price fixing. Most markets are controlled by monopolies or oligopolies.
replyI call it 3 scams in a trench coat pretending to be a real economy. Though obviously there are more than 3 going. You kinda have to be in one of the grifts in order to pay the costs of the others, like work in military contracting in order to pay for healthcare. That’s why crackdowns on fraud, collusion, and other such grifts, rackets, and anticompetitive actions in the US is doomed to fail, those who benefit from it tend to be the most reliable political donors. It’s hard to go after one and not go after the others and that would upset a lot of politically powerful people, this results in an armistice and not going after any.
replyof course it helps that all of these politically powerful and reliable donors are also epstein class untouchables.
replyIt was 100% due to Biden.
reply(Or so I was told. Might even be the reason we have Trump 2.0?)
Yeah, he's definitely the cause of all our past and current problems.
replyThe major egg supplier for most of the grocery stores decided not to buy as many pullets to replace the ones they culled from Avian Flu, and then the second and third largest also followed suit. As a result there was a bug supply crunch that coincided with Avian Flu cullings. Unless Biden was there making command decisions about how many pullets to buy that year he had nothing to do with it.
replyNot disagreeing, but all I heard was Biden-flation (or whatever they called it) was why we needed a new President.
replyIf all you needed was a new president you could have chosen the other option.
replyIt could have been investigated. Even this article states prices went down as a likely result of the investigation. Turning a blind eye bears some culpability. All we heard during those years was that it was due to avian flu shortage, and if you mentioned otherwise, you got shouted down by politically connected people.
replyDid you give that hearsay any critical thought concerning its accuracy, verifiability, or intent?
