heartbreaking indeed, but Rothbard doesn't agree with this in Man, Economy and State.

He specifically made the example of the company that applies very low prices to push all competitors out of the market, and once they are out it reaps the benefits, and he explained why this is not really possible in a free market.

Sure, I have no idea about how much those laws that he talks about in the beginning, where you can't sue a farm factory, played a role in enabling this case, and if they did then, yes, this is yet another case, not of company corruption and market pollution, but, guess what, state overreach that damages the people.

why did you flip me? 😢

This is important, even neglects to mention the pollution these "farms" have on the ground water. There's a case in Missouri where one of these Chinese hog farms had allowed cracks to form in the concrete and 10s of thousands of gallons of the pig effluent to flow into and pollute the ground water and they ended up with a fine equivalent to a single days worth of profits.

Buy your pork from local producer-absorbed the hogs seeing the sun, you won't regret it as soon as you eat that sweet sweet fat

Great, but how does a government using a debasing currency fix this?

Most people can't afford a 400%+ increase in their cost of food.

I loath industrial ag more than everyone I've ever met, but they can't just turn it off. Consumer demand has to drive the bus, but they can't afford to.
