    We were wondering if people would be interested in us Livestreaming the hearings for the Koch and four pilgrims price-fixing hearings, they are going to make their initial court appearance on August 11th. I don’t even know if we CAN do this, but it might be interesting to watch and learn a little bit more about what they did and what we think it caused.

    “The Sherman Act carries a statutory maximum penalty of 10 years in prison and a $1 million fine for individuals and a $100 million fine for corporations.” Toss the book at them in my opinion. “Let them go and everyone just be nice” - Austin probably.

    If it were big tech, they would walk away squeaky clean.

    Jonathon Austin PatrickB I would likely tune in to hear the commentary from you guys during the show.

    “Koch has seen no evidence to date that it or any of its employees have committed any crime…"

    Its one thing to do some shopping around and see what you competitors are charging, but when you are meeting up at “trade shows” and texting each other its gone to a whole other level

    Jonathon I would be interested in listening to the Livestream, but no guarantee where I will be or if I will even have a connection. I will have to settle for the Readers Digest version.

    Jonathon Very interesting case. I would be interested in following this. This doesn’t affect everyone, but it does affect me, and given that this is the primary source of protein for many families, it has very long term impacts for many.

    Then he said to them, “Watch out! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; life does not consist in an abundance of possessions.”

    Unfortunately this is partly due to us as consumers and our shopping for the lowest costs. The small farm simply cannot come any where near the prices of mass produced products found in the chain stores. This has over time enabled the big chains to consolidate the markets down to a few big players. It was only a mater of time before this would happen. Thankfully, 2020 brought a great awakening to the general public and showed everyone how fragile our supply chains really are. Now we are in a situation where big business has lobbied in regulations that hinder the small meat producer selling products directly to the end consumer.

    Keep Processing, "PROCESSORS"

    Jonathon I agree through the book at them, maybe a little time in the iron hotel would give make them all stop and think before their greed takes over.
