A ‘habitual offender’ unleashes nearly half a billion salmonella-tainted eggs

by Tom Philpott from Grist. 

The outrage here is not that Wright County Eggs has released nearly half a billion tainted eggs into the market, exposing untold numbers of people to sickness. DeCoster's record of abuse -- of people and the environment -- has taught anyone who's paying attention to expect such things from his operations.

The outrage is that regulatory authorities at both the state and national levels have allowed him to continue hiring workers and producing food as violations piled up.

In the US any kind of government regulation regarding issues affecting ordinary Americans is a farce. The government exists to serve its master--the military-industrial complex.
