David W. Slayton Judge of the Superior Court 1/19, 1/26, 2/2, 2/16/23 cerns about monopoly power and potential antitrust violations in this sector,” the letter adds. “It also presents exactly the kind of monopoly or oligopoly power that is entrenched in a market ‘with highly inelastic demand’ and that ‘imposes substantial costs on the public,’ which Chair Khan has previously argued enforcers should seek to challenge.

We urge the FTC to exercise the full scope of its authorities — under the Sherman, Clayton and FTC Acts — to identify, challenge, and uproot anti-competitive arrangements that suppress competition among egg producers and enable dominant firms like Cal-Maine to extort consumers for the eggs they need every day.”

thrived for four generations but won’t be done in by the price of eggs.

“It’s like a yoyo,” Brian Frlekin said. “Sometimes things are up, other times things are down, you just gotta stay in the game.”

Frlekin said he gets their eggs, and sometimes chicken, from a restaurant supply house, but that the price for a flat of eggs generally fluctuates.

Brian’s father, Jim, once explained to Random Lengths that before the advent of supermarkets in the 1960s, small mom-and-pop markets supplied most of the community’s dietary needs. Combined with the fact that new regulations made it impossible for the Poultry Co. to continue providing freshly slaughtered chickens, the business had to evolve. That next step in the evolutionary chain was the offering of ready-made food. Jim said he got worried when the supermarkets started offering readymade food too, but it turned out Slavko’s had a better product that local residents trusted.

Jim says that the key to Slavko’s success was their ability to give the customer what they wanted. He explained that shortly after they began providing readymade meals, they would market their product to the holidays that local San Pedro residents celebrate. They would have corned beef and cabbage in March in celebration of Lent, the tradition- al Italian dish, mostaccioli and the Croatian sausage, ćevapčići year round.

“When they zig, we zag,” Jim explained.

In November, “antitrust trailblazer” Khan led the agency in issuing a new policy statement restoring its commitment to “rigorously enforcing” the FTC Act’s prohibition on “unfair methods of competition,” including what critics have called “predatory pricing.”

According to Farm Action: “What Cal-Maine Foods and the other large egg producers did last year — and seem to be intent on doing again this year — eggs gone.” is extort billions of dollars from the pockets of ordinary Americans through what amounts to a tax on a staple we all need: eggs. They did so without any legitimate business justification. They did so because there is no ‘reasonable substitute’ for a carton of eggs. They did so because they had power and weren’t afraid to use it.”

Despite the rises in prices, she said customers aren’t going to go to Think Cafe and not expect to have eggs.

On the bright side, Carly said the price of chicken has gone down.

“This kind of organized theft is exactly what Congress — and the public it represents ‘empowered and directed’ the FTC to prevent,” the group concluded. “The FTC should do nothing less.”

In addition to regulatory action, Sen. Bernie Sanders (IVt.) argued last weekend that Cal-Maine’s “corporate greed” exemplifies why “we need a windfall profits tax.”

Last March, Sanders introduced the Ending Corporate Greed Act, which seeks to stamp out price gouging by imposing a 95% tax on the windfall profits of major companies.

Jim says that he may not be the brightest guy, but Slavko’s has managed to stay ahead of the curve with that philosophy.

Think Cafe restaurateurs, Chef Sonny and Carly Ramirez, who are known for their servings of breakfast favorites from the traditional ham and eggs to the eggs scrambled with smoked salmon and their variations of egg benedict.

“Yeah, [eggs are] likely going to keep going up too. Hopefully not forever though, they just have to fix the chickens,” Carly said. “You know they killed 8,000,000 chickens, so that’s 8,000,000

“Chicken, which was $3 a pound before, is now $1 a pound, so you do have to weigh the good with the bad,” Carly said.

Progressive economists have long urged Congress and the Joe Biden administration to enact a windfall profits tax, strengthen antitrust enforcement, and impose temporary price controls, arguing that only these measures — and not the Federal Reserve’s unemployment-inducing interest rate hikes — can address the corporate profiteering underlying the cost-of-living crisis.
