A verdict in a federal lawsuit over price-fixing by some of the country’s largest egg companies has bled into Indiana’s 2024 U.S. Senate race.

You know what's fun? You click through to the Rose Acre Farms, Inc. website in the article and the first thing you see is the words: "Family-Owned with Small-Town Values" and the second thing you see is a Bible quote.

Not surprising. I used to own a business and almost everyone who bounced a check or otherwise failed to pay their bill had, "have a blessed day" on their voice mail message. Now it just feels like anyone spouting Bible quotes or telling me to have a blessed day is just a scammer working an angle.

Showing the world how religious you are is often a cover for how immoral you are. See: Every televangelist.

Never do business with a religious son-of-a-bitch. His word ain't worth a shit -- not with the Good Lord telling him how to fuck you on the deal.

A REPUBLICAN?!?!? I’m so SHOCKED.

[–] EmpathicVagrant@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

We’re gonna have to impeach a dumbocrat for this!

[–] Deiv@lemmy.ca -1 points 10 months ago

As if almost every politician isn't in it for the money lmao

There needs to be a new federal law against things that "Negativity Impact the American People" with very strict penalties. So just like someone can break a state or local law and then federal prosecutors can also come in and charge them for a federal crime.

Would cover this, the banks and wall Street for 2009, J&J asbestos in talc powder, opioid epidemic, etc.

Sure those laws end in fines or class action lawsuits less then the profit made. But now the people in charge that knew what they were doing get a federal prison sentence. Golden parachute right into 10 years behind bars.

On the one hand, this means one less corrupt piece of shit representing Indiana in the federal government.

On the other hand, Jim Banks really, really stupid.

I'm honestly not sure which is worse, but I guess this means less of an option to vote against.

What makes you think being associated with crime will have any negative impact on a Republican's political career?

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

People really like eggs.

[–] SplashJackson@lemmy.ca 6 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I want to see some price-breaking

[–] oDDmON@lemmy.world 9 points 10 months ago

Would prefer to see some head busting.
