Chicago has a long and well documented history of corruption and machine politics.

> “The reason, in this case, not to pursue litigation is that the conduct had already been resolved, right?” [U.S. Associate Attorney General Stanley Woodward Jr.] went on, referencing the decline in egg prices.

They stopped this particular instance of it after the horse already left the barn and did nothing to dissuade future anticompetitive collusion.

Well, the "something" the Trump adminstration landed on (with an investigation started by Biden's team) I think for OP wasn't enough. A small monetary settlement without jail time of the executives involved is hardly the "something" that needs to be done in order to curtail this behavior and stop it in the first place. When the people who committed a crime still gets to keep any amount of their stolen money, that, to me, is less than "something".

Unsure about eggs, but they definitely have their own rotisserie chicken farm and plant.

Story goes that Tyson's chickens were becoming larger and larger and thus Tyson wanted more money.

Costco wants to keep the chicken at $5, so they starter their own plant.

This isn’t really true. Their eggs are purchased from others (same as other Kirkland branding) and the chicken op for rotisserie is only a fraction.

> You can buy your eggs from Costco

If you live near a Costco, you can. The one near me is opening in a week, and I can't wait.

Because winning against the wealthiest people in the world is easy right?

I think you have blinders on because she challenged both those groups.

If you don't occasionally fail, you're not trying hard enough.

The perfect is the enemy of the better. What we have now is sure not the better.

She was quite active, which is more than we can be said about some of her predecessors. Also she was hated by the right people, that's always a good sign.

Being a good economic governor is putting the right people in place and the Democrats seem fair more competent at it in the last 10 years.

Based on your profile, your existence as a commenter is to both-sides issues where Republicans are clearly doing wrong things.

You say "lets not pretend" and then your only next sentence is refutation of that first statement. If Democrats are incompetent economic governers (whatever that phrase means), then they would have not put in a competent person like Khan in the first place.

Neither are "economic governors" . The whole shtick in the US is that industry is privately owned, not controlled by a democratically elected body.

> It's a natural consequence of capitalism. It's in every industry.

The link you posted doesn’t support this claim.

> It's a natural consequence of capitalism

Adam smith was hostile towards monopolies (which your link refers to - nothing to do with price fixing although the conclusion is the same) and his critiques being very apparent throughout Wealth of Nations. This is a common opinion with proponents of free markets.

So what specifically about capitalism makes this a "natural consequence"?

Regulation is literally there to compensate for these types of issues with unregulated capitalism. I don't see how you could draw the conclusion that the thing we've tried many times and that works a lot of the time can't work.
