So far, Trader Joe's has stood up to them, at least indirectly.

Thanks for this post.

Can we not disperse the hippies with soap and water?

My understanding is that South Korea is by-and-large a capitalist country. There may be some "industrial policy" and "public-private-partnership" shenanigans going on, but no worse than what is happening here in the good ole' USA.

If there were already a number of companies selling fried chicken for around $14-15,000, I would be suspicious of a company that could come in and undersell by a factor of three.

It is wrong for people to just protest the "unfair" (unfair to who?) price. But someone needs to investigate. Either this company is cutting some pretty large corners, or the other companies have set up an illegal cartel which needs to be exposed and eliminated.

BTW, there is nothing wrong with Saul Alinsky's methods. The only thing wrong was what he hoped to achieve with those methods. The right could learn a thing or two by studying his methods. Corporations have already learned many valuable things by responding to his tactics and Alinsky-proofing their buildings and business processes.

There is always some kind of meaningless protest in San Francisco. Those people have TOO much free time on their hands!
