There's an easy answer.

You know, when you're when you're in Africa.

Rocky Waters, you want to be in a speedboat, a little speedboat you can turn around, not an aircraft carrier that takes 12 miles to turn around in.

The business book, it's not the big that eats the small, it's the fast that eats the slow.

And when you're a bureaucratic, a large bureaucratic institution, movement is very difficult.

When you're small like we are, you're in a little speedboat, hey, we can adjust.

And the little slaughterhouse that we co-own, we've got 25 employees.

You know, we didn't miss a lick.

We didn't miss a day of work.

We didn't miss anything.

And in fact, on our farm, we sold six months worth of inventory in six weeks in the spring of 2020.

It was the best economic thing that ever happened to us, even though we lost almost a million dollars of restaurant sales because they all closed.

But we picked it up on the retail end.

So.

What do we do about this oligarchy, about the fact that now 120 years after FSIS was started, we now don't have seven companies controlling 50%.

We have four companies control 85%.

This is not a free market.

It has been an intervented, meddled federal program from the beginning.

So here's my solution.

Instead of a bailout, instead of Federal Trade Commission, instead of Smoot-Hartley, whatever, okay?
