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

    Yeah no, I get the Onion thing, it's usually taught in collegiate finance courses... but the Box Office thing threw me off. Apparently the MPAA lobbied to have it added. I am just amused that it's attached to Onion Law.
