Huh, son of a bitch. Can't wait to use this one
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Onion_Futures_Act
Lol. Wut?
in 1956 some guy sneakily trough shell companys and such stuff, used the futures market to controll 98% of the onion suply and screwed over a lot of people.
the onion futures act was the goverments absolute brilliant idea for a fix.
i have no idea what the box office receipts thing is about
