Sandhusker Pot: "OK, Twister, lets start alllll over again."
Sandhusker Kettle: "I know I'm getting you when you resort to name calling".
You just can't win today can you? Hahaha!
Ok, I'm feeling generous about your inability to admit when you are wrong, so I won't badger you with it anymore.
Instead, I'll take your bait and delve into your "assumed" comfort zone.
Sandhusker: "You're trying to tell us that a buyout is proof there is competition and I just showed you six buyout reasons that have nothing to do with competition! All can happen in a competitive or noncompetitive market, and you know it! I proved you wrong not once, not twice, but SIX times!"
You haven't proven me wrong once on this topic let alone the 6 times you dreamed about which would still only be once IF YOU PROVED ME WRONG with your 6 examples.
I never said that an inability or difficulty for a small packing plant to compete with a larger more efficient packing plant, was the ONLY REASON for smaller packing companies being bought out by larger packing companies.
The fact remains, an inability or difficulty in competing with larger more efficient packing companies has been a major reason for many of these packer acquisitions in history. That is a fact!
There is many examples of small packing companies selling out to larger companies due to the difficult in competing with larger more efficient packing companies.
Your beloved R-CALF has even spoke about the inability or difficulty of smaller packing companies to compete with the larger more efficient packing companies.
THAT IS AN ADMISSION THAT THERE IS COMPETITION
Treed again!
