That Dastardly Tree Cartel!

The Financial Times reports (link to be added) that Danish Tree
growers are being charged with organizing a cartel to manipulate
Christmas tree prices. Apparently the Danes are the primary Christmas
tree producers for much of Europe and have been responsible for
raising tree prices by 25%!

Now that's true Christmas Spirit! Soak 'em for everything they've
got. Buy buy buy! Sell sell sell! Man I'm burned out on the economic
takeover of this supposedly religious holiday.
