Thread regarding Dean Foods Co. layoffs

This deal is looking worse and worse

The Justice Department, in a letter to creditors last month, said a Dean-DFA deal appeared to threaten “serious risk of anticompetitive harm” to farmers and consumers.

The department indicated it was looking to move quickly because of Dean’s liquidity problems.

No one says you have to like it. I'm just saying it is what it is. Dean is DONE. Complaining at this point is like standing over a dying relative and complaining that the medics messed their hair up while giving them CPR. Pointless.

The deal is done. Just be thankful to have a job. A lot of people don't right now. We've known for two years the company was going down the tubes. It could have been a lot worse. They could have gone into chapter 7. And then we'd have nothing.

What a crock of sh–, the DOJ dropped the ball on this and what does DFA selling assets have to do to the competitive market? Wonder who gets those assets.

To be real, Walmart should be sticking to their vertical and not getting into production of goods.

That piece is old, the DOJ have already said today they are going to approve the sale based on DFA selling some other assets.
