”Whadaya mean ‘too beaucoup’”?
I voted for this.
You bet! About time! they are coordinating gouging and “price fixing” like crazy... This is all on the middlemen...
I voted for this. Other industries need the same examination.
I hope The Boss has some direct evidence of this and he's not just offering the appearance of doing something to the whiny masses.
I know some people on here mentioned the problems with meat packing industry before but I wonder if ranchers brought it up to Trump when he decided to import some Argentina beef . Hopefully this is taken care of and we have a lot of cows again (instead of the current 75 year low)
Lady I know purchased part of a cow from a local farmer. He had it butchered, divided into cuts, frozen and delivered.
She gave me some.
When feeder steers are over $350 a hundred weight the problem is not the packers.
A fifth grader can figure that out.
Long overdue. Take away foreign ownership as well.
Go after the egg producers also.
The worst is Tyson…whose owner was an FOB (Friends of Bill Clinton)
This is what lefties and commies do - blame the private sector for “price gouging.” And FR’s dumbass geriatric personality cult types here cheer it.
“I voted for this!!!!”
People who understand markets and cattle know where the problems lie - way before the packing stage.
And YES....we have...a PROBE.
Not only meatpacking companies are driving up beef prices from the day Trump took office price gouging was taking place and it’s getting amped up the better he makes things.
The Bolshevik democrats have a sweetheart deal by ignoring the facts.
Trump gets the discussion going again.
Yes!
Then do gasoline.
”Whadaya mean ‘too beaucoup’”?
This has been a hot button issue since the 1960’s. I remember well hearing the conversations about it on the farm.
Not much has happened.
We need a bunch of anti trust actions .
Companies in many industries are too big
Amen.
And child trafficking.
And child labor.
And harboring illegal aliens.
And failure to pay taxes.
And violations of minimum wage laws.
And ….
And …
My understanding is that all that cheap chicken you get at Walmart is cut by 14 year old Guatemalan (and the like) illegal child laborers, and the employers know it.
Beyond the collusion, it was less than a year ago that Tyson foods proudly announced that they were laying off around 1,000 employees in Iowa in favor of focusing on hiring “immigrants” at plants in other locations. As of now, it appears that corporate decision makers, like dozens of others discarding Americans in favor of cheap labor, have not warranted scrutiny.
