Y’all remember a ways back when I said 3 major #egg producers were scamming the country, and that #avianflu was not causing the price surges, it was price fixing, cause I can do basic addition?
And industry executives and analysts were saying that there was nothing to see except a supply shock of a disease killing lots of hens. As one industry executive put it at the time, it’s all just “supply disruption, ‘act of God’ type stuff.”
Yeah. It was a #conspiracy to fix prices. Emails between each other writing down the damn conspiracy. They made billions. Guess how much they have to pay in fines? If you guessed less than 1%, you’ve been paying attention to the #kakistocracy.
Eat the rich.
