frens I'ma take a second to get everyone based at the abstract layer on this matter. it is rare that abstraction matches up with facts on the ground but this issue is one of them.

the link below is to a wiki entry but you can check the term all over the net elsewhere relevant authors are Case and Deaton. they won Nobel in economics deservingly so for employing data to analyze trends (how novel right!?).

take a second and check this out. I'm sharing to aid in innoculation from bullshit and bolster discernment.

this is a matter of data and analysis so you can agree disagree or take issue I don't care just please have a looksy

p.s. I just got word that CPL got loans from a bank locally. I am told this related to fraud stuff that came out last night. sauce will be incoming in next bread or so…

that articles is related to some of the unsealed indictments we have been tracking . many of the unsealed for southern district of MS. relate to anticompetitive practices. we have a good ol boy network type swamp here. article mentions DOJ going big in their anitrust division all over the country. this article specifically mentions Sherman antitrust. I know it's one of the more high profile acts legislated on matter but is there a lawfag in the house that could give a tldr on the sorts of matters that would fall under Sherman? e.g. could some unsealed be for big Telecom or the silicon valley companies given Sherman?

cpl apparently either leveraged information or contacts here in deciding to apply for a loan with local banks in this state.

possible individual if it was a contact, someone in sweetman family. swetmen mentioned as president of the bank involved. family also into private security and they do everything from retail to powerplants in the area.

not a lawfag but am econofag and native son of this area. we have archaic banking laws in this state although I do not fully appreciate the ramifications. I say archaic, might be wrong adjective, because e.g. no BOA branches int his state I am told. Don't know exact reason but likely tied to mechanisms involved with state issue of charters.

clue: one of the unsealed indictments for this area involves a very old antitrust matter involving a bank or holding company going back decades. Sorry for lack of clarity but good ol boy networks are most effective when water is murky by nature.
