Today I spoke to Mitch McConnell at length about Beep, Beep, Beep, Beep, Beep.
Remember when egg prices were breaking everyone’s backs? Turns out the prices were fixed. This punishment isn’t fitting the crime. The difference between $1.2 billion in profits and a $3.3 million fine for lying to consumers is insane. The math isn’t mathing.
