The verdict on Tuesday followed a more than five-week antitrust trial against a group of egg producers including Cal-Maine Foods (CALM.O), the country's largest egg producer and distributor, and Rose Acre, the second-largest, over claims that they had "rigged" the market by conspiring to charge artificially high prices.

[–] Bubbathegut (18242) a year ago

Yep, its been that way for the past 3 years. No one respects the laws anymore.

[–] ShadowHunter (814) a year ago

[–] Bubbathegut (18242) a year ago

Oof, this is embarrassing to read.

[–] ShadowHunter (814) a year ago

jurors ultimately determined damages occurred between 2004-2008.

Now bidens responsible for what these egg producers did while George bush Jr was in charge!

your retardation knows no bottom. ill be saving this to refer to later the next time you post. and how you used something from 2004 as proof "Yep, its been that way for the past 3 years. No one respects the laws anymore."

You can thank your master JB for that...BBB.

[–] AckbartheHutt (1370) a year ago

Still waiting for BBB.

you are as dumb as your buddy Bubba.

[–] tvfan (14553) a year ago

That didn't affect us under Trump; it only affected us under Biden.

[–] ShadowHunter (814) a year ago

wtf are you talking about? this case literally happened under Bush jr or are you illiterate?

[–] tvfan (14553) a year ago

That doesn't matter, the egg prices were low under Trump and high under Biden.

[–] ShadowHunter (814) a year ago

stay on topic imbecile :)

[–] tvfan (14553) a year ago

Facts are Facts, I didn't make the rules.

[–] xanthas (3215) a year ago

Oh, come on! Can't someone not on my ignore list reply? 😅

[–] Filmtenk2 (4137) a year ago

You're not missing anything.

[–] tvfan (14553) a year ago

No wonder he has an echo chamber.

[–] xanthas (3215) a year ago

It's so upsetting for them that now both gas and egg prices are down just in time for the holidays??

[–] Bubbathegut (18242) a year ago

Let me know when gas prices get to $1.99.

[–] tvfan (14553) a year ago

I still remember when it was around $1.7x under Trump.

[–] Bubbathegut (18242) a year ago

Yeah, it was about the same in my area too. This was even before the plandemic. I just paid $2.69 today. Dems think that is cheap. lol I guess if you live of govt money its no big deal.

[–] tvfan (14553) a year ago

Exactly, which is why they shouldn't complain or brag about prices.

[–] tvfan (14553) a year ago

Bidenomics:

• Increase by 200%
• Decrease by 30%
• Biden gets the credit

[–] Bubbathegut (18242) a year ago

Haha, thats how they justify everything.

Its incredible that Joe doesn't get blamed for anything.

[–] tvfan (14553) a year ago

Of course not; all the blame goes to the Trump.

[–] xanthas (3215) a year ago

And it's also upsetting to them that Fox "News" contributors have to pay upwards of $90 for woke, vegetarian-fed, free range turkeys.

....And that gasoline prices aren't as low as they were during a pandemic when a barrel of oil was actually worth less than $0.

[–] ShadowHunter (814) a year ago

you arent missing much. Tvfan and Bubba are blaming Biden. for something according to the story happened in 2004-2008 while Bush was in charge. as usual they are embarrassing themselves with thier stupidity.

In Canada a while back they were fixing bread prices:

I imagine every item has the same problem.

Nice to know the government is looking out for us.

I mean, if they can't even catch bread and egg fuckery, I wonder what else they miss.

[–] robocat893 (16254) a year ago

That's just not possible! Everyone knows that Biden is directly responsible for setting egg prices. 🥚

Republican Senate candidate’s family egg company caught in price-fixing plot

The family farming company of a Republican candidate for the US Senate was found liable on Tuesday in a plot to fix the price of eggs.

Rose Acre Farms, which claims to be the second-largest egg producer in the country and until September was chaired by John Rust – now running as a Senate candidate for Indiana – was accused in a civil suit of cutting supply to raise prices.

“Corporations price fixing? Impossible!”

[–] tvfan (14553) a year ago

That is precisely why leftoids like you and xanthas will always fall for the lies and deceptions.

Just because someone identifies as something (R), that they are genuinely what they claim to be….oh look! a man identifying as woman, so S/he has to be a woman because it identified as one and wears a woman’s clothes, etc.

[–] HarlemEagle42 (18430) a year ago

I didn't even mention anything about party politics in that post but hey, thanks for reaffirming that Republicans are nothing but corporate lapdogs. You spastic weirdo.

[–] tvfan (14553) a year ago

I didn't even mention anything about party politics in that post

xanthas did and you “sarcastically” agreed.

Republicans are nothing but corporate lapdogs.

Now you did, by confirming it.

[–] HarlemEagle42 (18430) a year ago

*shrugs* Hey we're just repeating what the jury determined to be true.

Greedflation at work.
