That just doesn't make any sense. I understand bird flu and swine flu.... There was also a disease recently that took out about 30% of all laying hens.
Orange tree acreage has been cut in half by a disease called greening.
That stuff makes sense.
Accusing a corporation of being corporate is kind of silly.
A healthy corporation ensures continuity. However....screw around with the monetary unit and you're going to get adjustments to keep up. It's not the prices going up that stings the consumer nearly as much as the dollar going down.
