Biden: More competition in meat industry can lower food costs
New York’s attorney general has issued subpoenas to former President Trump and his two eldest children in a civil investigation into the family’s business.
Neil Bradley, executive vice president and chief policy officer at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, said the coronavirus and higher costs for energy and labor are driving meat prices higher, not the corporate structure of the industry. Mike Brown, president of the National Chicken Council, said, “This looks like a solution in search of a problem.” He said the administration is using the food industry as a “scapegoat for the significant challenges facing our economy. ”
The Justice Department and the Agriculture Department will launch a joint effort to make it easier to report anti-competitive actions to the government. The administration will also seek to improve the transparency of the cattle market, with Biden saying, “A free market isn’t truly free without transparency around prices.”The social media platform has banned the personal account of Marjorie Taylor Greene for multiple violations of its COVID-19 misinformation policy.
