Colluding Pork Packers Accused of Pigging Out On Fixed Prices

This is not a food that I have eaten for over 45 years so I have not skin in the game.  So why is  it bad to collude to produce less pork so the price goes up?  Well I am just using this to show who has the power.  The pig farmer certainly is powerless faced with a relationship with a monolithic meat packing and distribution cartel.  In this case the packers got extra profits from not only higher prices to restaurant and markets but pig farmers lost there living as well in lower production and loss of outlets for their hogs, such life for a contract slave laborers that raise hogs and chickens as well.

Enough said -- as we well know meat packers are criminals so this should surprise nobody.
