Cool it's so nice that they get to keep all the profits they stole from us while paying only a portion of those profits as a fine. Justice has been served!
Fun unrelated side note: if you add stryofoam to molotov cocktails it turns them into napalm cocktails!
$3.3 million is nothing compared to the profits they reaped by running the scam. This was a gift by the Trump administration.
I think you mean grift
If the fine isn't greater than the cost to consumers (which in this case is far, far more than their profits from the fraud), then this is essentially the government endorsing this behavior.
Yeah just making sure the government gets it's cut
i never understood why when the people at these companies that commit crimes never see an hour inside a prison? wage theft is the same story. these are crimes. they need to be brought before a court and judge to determine consequences. paying some fine isn’t an appropriate consequence for the damage they’ve done with this one action.
Prison is only for the poors. If you have enough money, Capitalism lets you do anything. Just look at how much praise and money Musk has received from the US government for making a child porn generator.
This only involves three egg producers? How are 3 chickens going to come up with 53 million eggs?
i’m genuinely confused how you thought chickens worked before if not a violent explosion of eggs, millions at a time. Did you think it was like a hundred or something?
So, basically a light slap on the wrist for ridiculous profits. Got it.
Make them pay back every penny that they gained by illegally colluding to raise prices.
This is simple, and thats how you know the clowns at the justice department aren't serious. You're giving them alight warning to NOT GET CAUGHT again.
I don't give two shits if they go out of business. Capitalism can only work if the markers are free and you can't point to a single free market these days. Three companies own every industry and fix prices. When thats done with illegal drugs, they're called Cartels.
Eggs From Plants people: Hey!
Every American gets 0.152 eggs! Woooooooooooo! Fuck yeah! You can make 5% of a celebration cake with that! 🎉
So how much are they now?
