Where I'm from, there was a huge egg shortage for a while because ~5 years ago the government passed new laws to try and make things marginally less horrible for chickens. The entire industry decided that they were going to do... basically nothing, then the rules came into force and there was lots of winging from industry people that 5 years want enough time, and how hard it was not being able to sell all this product that they kept producing for some reason
That wasn't honest incompetence. That was a failed, organized attempt to force a repeal.
Smells like too big to fail fuckery
Smells like too big to fail… cluckery…(⌐■_■)
Oh totally. There was an election and a change of government to one that is typically more business friendly, so I guess the hope was they'd roll back the rules but they were actually pretty popular with the public in general
Sounds familiar, living in the Netherlands where farmers had years and subsidies to reduce reliance on livestock for the environment, then protested when the rules came into force and they hadn't used the time or subsidies to prepare.
This is New Zealand, but yeah, basically the same deal
I thought so...
heh
It hasn't... blown in you might say?
