It is extremely legal, under the US’s current governmental infrastructure. The linked article gives a bunch of examples including legalized price-fixing on rent and meat prices, and how they function.
I’m honestly a little surprised and saddened to read these comments and votes and realize that reading the article is a pretty rare thing on Lemmy, before starting to broadcast what is the poster’s opinion of what might be in it and their reaction to the imagining.
The linked article does not talk about fungibility at all, let alone anything about NAFTA, HTS, CFR, or anything else concerning laws in place for fungibility.
Correct. What it talks about is other laws, and how the government and industry has been breaking them, and the harm that it’s causing. Which is what confused me about your comment and led me to the conclusion maybe you just hadn’t read the article and were talking about something mostly unrelated based on just reading the headline.
