Guardian: Cal-Maine’s profits more than tripled compared with the same quarter last year – and are nearly eight times as high as at the start of the bird flu outbreak in February 2022, according to financial results published on Tuesday. The company, which produces 20% of the eggs eaten in the US, made $1bn in windfall income in the first three-quarters of the financial year – the profits extracted after accounting for production, processing and transport costs.

On Tuesday, Cal-Maine said that its sales almost doubled to $1.42bn in the fiscal third quarter, which ended on 1 March, primarily down to raising egg prices, which has hurt consumers who rely on the once affordable protein source. But the company’s shares then fell by more than 4% after acknowledging that it was being investigated by the justice department’s anti-trust division. Mississippi-based Cal-Maine said it received notice of the investigation into egg price increases last month and that it was cooperating with the investigation.

How does one even go about looking for this? Is there one in the Omaha area?

If not, why not?

How do you fail in that market?

« SolarZero, which was sold to US private equity giant BlackRock, said it had “pioneered a new financing model” to expand its debt funding to $195 million. »

That's how you fail in that market.

I met a traveler from an antique land,
Who said—“Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. . . .
...
And on the pedestal, these words appear:
My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings;
Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!

Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.”

"Ozymandias"
by Percy Bysshe Shelley

“Nothing feels more emblematic to the fight for the soul of the Democratic Party than a Republican-funded super PAC coming after a former nurse and middle school principal,” he said, pointing to United Democracy Project donors like hedge fund manager Paul Singer, whose Elliott Management has fossil fuel investments.
