Recovering from Hurricane Milton. Please accept my apologies for not being able to post a new episode. I am safe but need a few days of mental vacation giving the nerve-wracking past few days. On this edition of Parallax Views, we delve into the explosive story of a software company and corporate landlords accused of engaging in a criminal conspiracy to artificially jack-up prices in the U.S. rental housing market.

We'll talk about how the relationship between vacancies and rental prices has changed since the introduction of software of the kind RealPage is selling, the significance of the RealPage antitrust case, and how scandals like this tie into the issue of evictions and homelessness. We'll also delve into broader issues related to cartels and the threat monopoly capital poses to U.S. consumers, the Google antitrust lawsuit and Judge Amit Mehta ruling that Google is a monopolist in violation of antitrust laws, the significance of the Google antitrust lawsuit and what could come of it, the Federal Trade Commision's Lina Khan and Department of Justice Jonathan Kanter & the antirust project, how price fixing also ties into food and airline prices, countering anti-antitrust propaganda, the concept of "greedflation" as the cause of inflation, and much, much more.

This Day in Legal History: GDR EstablishedOn October 7, 1949, the German Democratic Republic (GDR), commonly known as East Germany, was officially established. This marked the formal division of Germany into two separate states after World War II. The creation of East Germany came in response to the formation of the Federal Republic of Germany (West Germany) earlier that year, in May 1949. Backed by the Soviet Union, the GDR was a socialist state governed by the Socialist Unity Party (SED), and its formation signaled the deepening divide between the Eastern and Western blocs during the Cold War.East Germany's legal and political structure was heavily influenced by Soviet-style socialism, with a focus on state control over the economy and a one-party system that suppressed political opposition. The GDR also became notorious for its secret police, the Stasi, which played a significant role in monitoring and controlling the population. Over time, East Germany built the Berlin Wall in 1961, a physical symbol of the broader ideological and geopolitical divisions of the Cold War.The existence of two Germanys, one capitalist and the other socialist, persisted for 41 years until the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, leading to German reunification in 1990. The legal creation of East Germany on this day stands as a key moment in the Cold War era, illustrating the legal and ideological rift that shaped post-war Europe.The U.S. Supreme Court begins its new term with a docket of significant cases, including disputes over guns, transgender rights, workplace discrimination, and online pornography. After a busy summer of emergency decisions, the Court's first case focuses on the Biden administration's appeal regarding "ghost guns," which can be purchased online and assembled without traceable serial numbers. Another key case involves Oklahoma death row inmate Richard Glossip, who seeks a new trial amid questions about his conviction. Additional cases involve Tennessee's ban on gender-affirming care for minors, workplace discrimination claims brought by "majority background" workers, and the authority of federal agencies like the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and FDA. The Court also faces potential involvement in election disputes surrounding the 2024 presidential race. Despite its heavy docket, the shadow of ethical controversies and a proposal for Supreme Court reforms loom over the term.Trump's Election Bid Is a Wild Card as Supreme Court Term OpensUS Supreme Court kicks off new term with important cases ahead | ReutersThe U.S. legal services sector added 1,600 jobs in September 2024, ending a four-month decline, according to the Labor Department. The legal job market's rebound mirrors broader U.S. job growth, with unemployment falling to 4.1%. Recruitment firms report steady demand for legal personnel, especially at large law firms, across various regions and practice areas. Legal sector employment had peaked at 1,190,300 jobs in February 2024. Law firms saw an 11.4% rise in revenue in the first half of the year, with increased demand for transactional practices.US legal jobs rebound after 4-month slump, Labor Dept says | ReutersMcDonald's has filed a lawsuit against several of its beef suppliers, including Tyson Foods, JBS, and Cargill, accusing them of conspiring to inflate beef prices in violation of federal antitrust laws. The fast-food chain alleges that the suppliers colluded to fix and raise beef prices by reducing the supply of slaughter-ready cattle, which artificially elevated prices. The alleged conspiracy, which began in 2015, was aimed at recovering profit margins impacted by years of drought. McDonald's claims that the suppliers limited production by closing plants and restraining market supply. The lawsuit seeks a declaratory judgment, damages three times the amount of losses sustained, and a permanent injunction to prevent future collusion. The U.S. Department of Justice had already investigated price-fixing in 2020, and testimonies from cattle ranchers have reportedly confirmed the conspiracy. During this period, the suppliers saw record profits, with JBS reporting a significant revenue increase between 2014 and 2021.McDonald's Says Tyson and Other Suppliers Fixed Beef Prices This is a public episode.

Bid rigging and price fixing are two insidious corporate crimes where companies conspire to manipulate competition and inflate prices, robbing governments, businesses, and consumers of billions. In bid rigging, conspirators secretly agree on who will win contracts, using tactics like cover bidding, bid rotation, and subcontracting to maintain the illusion of competition. Price fixing involves competitors agreeing to set artificially high prices for products or services, removing natural market forces. These practices are difficult to detect and prove, often uncovered by whistleblowers who risk their careers to expose the schemes. Despite legal battles and harsh penalties, bid rigging and price fixing remain prevalent, evolving with globalization and modern technology, leaving the public to pay the hidden costs.(commercial at 9:46)to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

The streets of San Francisco may be known for Dirty Harry, movie car chases, and the birth of the hippie movement, but they will no longer be associated with rental price-setting software. That's because the Golden Gate City is in line to be the first in the U.S. to ban the tech tools allegedly associated with landlord price fixing. The San Francisco Board of Supervisors unanimously approved an ordinance introduced by its supervisor and mayoral hopeful Aaron Peskin that bans landlords from using specific software and algorithms to set rents. The measure will still need to be approved by the mayor next month before it can be enforced.

A wall of fire destroys significant parts of the town of Jasper. Homes, businesses, and an important part of Canada's natural landscape have burned to the ground. Grocery giant Loblaw agrees to pay $500 million to settle a class-action lawsuit connected to the bread price-fixing scandal. The stage is set in Paris for the Olympic opening ceremony, as thousands of police officers and soldiers mobilize in the name of safety. Plus more, including safe supply sites in Canada, and a virus attacking B.C. blueberries.

Everyone knows that price fixing is against the law, chiefly Section 1 of the Sherman Act. Competitors may not collude, i.e., agree, to keep prices where they want them, but there are relatively new pricing platforms that some companies maintain take them out of the equation, so they do not have to share private information directly with competitors. Instead, they claim, they feed their data to a third-party which uses algorithms to come up with pricing for these competitors based on data they all contribute. The subject has been getting a lot of attention as cases mount against a company called RealPage, a firm that provides shared pricing services for landlords. The company faces dozens of suits in multidistrict litigation and has also captured the attention of federal antitrust law enforcers. But they are not the only company finding themselves in litigation. As our guest recently wrote: “When pricing algorithms are used by individual firms, such as airlines, e-commerce platforms, ride-share and room-share companies, stock traders, and others, there are unlikely to be anti-competitive consequences. It is when market competitors avail themselves of the same algorithmic program or service that the specter of unlawful collusion arises.” That risk increases as markets become more concentrated, he says. He is Jonathan Rubin, Partner and Co-Founder of MoginRubin LLP, a widely recognized competition law attorney, economist, and commentator who has presented at antitrust conferences in the United States and Europe, testified before several congressional committees, and before the Directorate General for Competition of the European Commission.  “The fact that these services employ an algorithm is not central to what's going on in this scenario,” he told me, “because what's important is the conduct of the businesspeople involved.”Listen to my interview with Jonathan Rubin as we discuss what algorithmic or software-facilitated pricing is, what the law says about price collusion, how this new pricing mechanism violates that law, and recent developments in litigation. *******This podcast is the audio companion to the Journal of Emerging Issues in Litigation.
