Companies will have rare/unique windfalls once in a while. I don't think it's really that outrageous.
People have rare windfalls too (one time job bonus, inheritance, etc.). Doesn't mean we should structure policy to make sure windfalls don't exist.
- caseysoftware 4y agoIf they haven't had any cases of avian flu while others have had entire flocks wiped out, they've done something differently or got really freakin' lucky. It'd be worth figuring out which and - if it's not luck - how to duplicate it elsewhere.
- antisthenes 4y agoIn this case it honestly seems like they have just gotten lucky. Same could be said for companies like AMC, whose stock meme rally allowed them to pay off significant company debts through no achievement of their own. It's just a rare/lucky windfall.
- galleywest200 4y agoBut the windfall seems it was directly related to their increase in prices. This is not the same as "inheritance" or something else seemingly unplanned. The company took an action to increase profits at the expense of consumers.
- adql 4y agoThey increased price because everyone else did. They just happened to not be hit by the flu so their production was not hit.
