I mentioned this in a previous comment. When my parents got married they were gifted half a cow. It used to be a thing, especially with the advent of refrigeration/freezing.
The irony is him doing this (supposedly) because of the price of ground beef. The beef industry is fairly decentralized compared to say, chicken. One of the big issues in the Midwest right now is corporate farms buying up all the land. When the grandpa dies, his kids are forced to sell the property in order to pay the death tax. The only people with cash on hand willing to buy the property before the IRS grabs the lube are the Tysons and Butterballs of the world.
Physically remove all IRS agents would be the preferred method; realistically though, not taxing people because they died would solve this particular issue. For corporate farms in general: the government enabled them in becoming monopolies; the government can go after them directly and "break them up," or they can strip away the regulatory measures that insulate these corporations from the free market while removing entrance barriers that prevent free market competition.
Neither of these will happen, because the advantage to centralized monopolies is that the government is better able to influence the market this way
The entire money-printing of the 2008 crash was "just" ~500B. Compare that to the ~10-15 TRILLION we are on schedule to print from 2019-2022.
Everything is going to get fantastically more expensive. But hey, keep asking the government for more free money. sure that will work out fine for us all.
I see Zerohedge did Zero research, again. This was a Trump proposal and it would have worked, and still might if actually implemented as on its surface.
overturn decades of bipartisan consensus around antitrust and competition policy in favor of a 'government-knows-best' regulatory approach,
The bipartisan consensus was letting BigAG gobble up small producers and put independent meat processors out of fucking business for kickbacks while increasing regulation on anyone who dared to operate outside of the few big corporations. There was a small meat processing facility in my town in Indiana that went out of business mid-to-late 90s because an Indianapolis facility filled with illegals 'out competed' them. Guess which one had the government contracts and subsidies.
Find a farmer and buy a cow with a couple of different families. Support local. Help build independent food systems.
What I plan to do for meat going forward. Well I’m going to try
You are not alone. It's a idea that's catching on.

Similar to how many sjws are gifted at their production with half an intellect
The answer to big government? More big government.
Don't worry, the meat packing monopoly will make good use of this.

What are the best ways to fix that excise of small farms to the big co's of the world?

Still old enough to remember it being a big fucking deal when the government spent a billion dollars on something. Now they treat it like petty cash.

They are coming for the meat. They want men weak, sick, and ready to obey.
It's so transparent. The manipulation and control is so out in the open these days.
