Matt, I haven't finished the article yet, but I had to take a break to thank you for the clarity of your writing. I'm old and old-fashioned, I guess, but I grew up in a time when clear writing was expected. At one modern day point, I was beginning to wonder if there was something wrong with me. It seemed that writers were beginning - not at the beginning - but in the middle. It's as if one walked into a party late and joined an ongoing conversation where everyone knew the who, what, and why but the newcomer.
I began to feel as if the writer were crafting a mystery and I had to pit my wits against the author to figure the thing out.
So just a brief interlude to say that the clarity of your writing is a joy to read. Now I go back to the article. And then I have to check out the Farmers Only site. :-)
Matt, not sure if the comments section is the proper forum to ask this, but...am curious about your thoughts on the freight rail industry. It's been consolidating over the past 40 years. The most recent announcement was Canadian Pacific (CP) courting Kansas City Southern (KCS), only to be outmaneuvered by its rival Canadian National (CN) which swooped in with a higher offer.
The KCS board of directors has given approval to proceed the CN offer, but the merger still needs to get through the Surface Transportation Board (STB). DOJ just came out against CN-KCS.
The correct amount in the court filing is $75k, not $75M. It’s listed correctly on page 3. There’s an extra zero after the decimal in the screenshot which makes it LOOK like $75M

Thanks for the good news, Matt.

Your thoughts would be welcome.

Reduced power by creators? Right up apple's alley. I'm sure they'll buy it.
