    Sherman Miller, president and chief executive officer of Cal-Maine Foods, said in a statement the settlement allows the company to “move forward so we can devote our full attention to what matters most: delivering affordable, high-quality eggs.”

    He got away with ripping off the American people for years and now he’s mocking us. This smug prick belongs in prison along with the rest of 'em.

      Of course Biden’s DOJ didn’t do anything to prevent this when they could have, and instead his administration just publicly blamed inflation on COVID benefits being too generous and cut those when people were struggling to pay these inflated prices, so he didn’t make the bad situation but he did make it worse

        When a crime like is newly happening, it takes rather a while for law enforcement to catch on. I think that’s what happened. I don’t think they got it in real time.

        Even when you are aware, and make the point as it happens, like Gov. Davis did in California a quarter century ago, prosecution takes time, and you can lose an election in the meantime.
