"Illegal price fixing used to require a lot of work. In the mid-1990s, to fix
the price of the animal feed additive lysine, executives of some of the world’s
biggest agribusinesses had to spend hours on airplanes flying to resorts where
they spent days in conference rooms determining how much lysine each company
could sell, and at what price.

Now there’s an app for things like that."
