Can China feed their population on their own? IDK the logistics but last I knew, they needed America to help feed their country.
For 22 years, a cabal of the nation’s largest hog producers held an annual private get-together — a high-powered gathering that court documents describe as “The Circle.”
Beyond the individual allegations, Maxwell’s complaint reveals how left unchecked, one powerful company — Smithfield — can tilt the so-called free market in its favor: Beginning with the mechanisms by which whole hog prices are set, it affects purchasing agreements with other swine producers and their ability to earn a profit. Smithfield owns and operates hundreds of its own farms. And in contracts with individually-owned farms, Smithfield controls every aspect of the operations — feed, medication, lagoon and sprayfield waste systems and trucking. The only aspects of the farm it doesn’t own or control are the labor, the buildings and the land.
But Smithfield, which was purchased by the Chinese company, WH Group, in 2013, continued paying its producers the substandard auction price, the lawsuit reads. In 2016, Maxwell began to feel the economic hit, and asked to renegotiate the pricing structure with Smithfield. Smithfield allegedly refused to adjust the price.
Coincidentally, that was the same year that Smithfield stopped holding meetings of The Circle. “Producers were unhappy with prices they were receiving from Smithfield” — the auction price — according to the lawsuit. And Smithfield “curtailed the production and sale information it provided to Maxwell.”
RICHMOND, Va. and SMITHFIELD, Va., Dec. 9, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Dominion Energy (NYSE) and Smithfield Foods, Inc., announced today they have completed the first renewable natural gas (RNG) project through their joint venture, Align Renewable Natural Gas℠. Located in Milford in southwestern Utah, the project is now producing RNG from a network of 26 family farms that raise hogs under contract with Smithfield.
The project is the first large-scale effort in the state to capture methane from hog farming operations and convert it into clean energy for homes, businesses and transportation. Significantly more greenhouse gas emissions are captured from the farms than are released when consumers use the gas, which makes RNG a "carbon-beneficial" energy source.

How did Gates, a software engineer or more precise programmer and monopolist entrepreneur, all of a sudden, become an economic and virology expert?

He wasn't even a good programmer.
