    I've heard a longer version of this story, and that sounded a lot like the thieves had no problem with the Federation. Instead it seemed more like the Federation itself was behind the whole thing. Intentionally building a warehouse with zero security where nobody would see what's going on at night to quietly sell off their reserve on the black market. They were stealing from themselves. Unfortunately someone forgot to tell the guy who called the police.

  • @HSMiyamoto
    @HSMiyamoto Před 4 lety +2

    I grew up in Minnesota, which is one reason I understand how cold weather could affect maple syrup production. The sap doesn't run in the trees when it is too cold. You have to collect sap when the snow is just melting, so late winter/early spring is the best time for it. The video doesn't fully explain that. You also have to collect about 100 times more sap than the amount of syrup you get out, so sap collectors have to work hard, doncha know.
    Anywho, the Maple Syrup Cartel makes a lot of sense, even for consumers, since it helps guarantee there is syrup available all year-round, every year. While a totally free market would give us very cheap syrup in the spring, it would be either/or very expensive or unavailable the rest of the time. Personally, I like real maple syrup on my pancakes and french toast, not the flavored corn syrup most people eat.
