Posted this a couple of days ago in PPT. And I NEVER, EVER buy or eat hamburger.
This is the crux of regulation — much as it’s true in any function in which the government crowds out the private sector.
The USDA actually gives cover to wrongdoing with their “inspection labels.” In a modern economy, robust inspection experts with far more exacting standards (and a credibility that must hold up to market scrutiny) would take the place of the faceless, competition free bureaucrats whose only incentive is increasing the size of their annual allocation. How in the world could that ever inspire efficiency?

The only way Monsanto gets even a glance from the various bloated gummint regulatory agencies that allegedly govern it is if they forget to put the check in the mail for the latest months’ bakshish.

Bastids!
