Wow! That’s a first. I am a sick individual. Maybe if you heard all the stories about how some hechsherim are the modern day Italian mafia minus the murder you too would want to limit their power.

The qaulity of the hechsher were i live is very high. There is an entire comminty of thousands of frum Jews who rely on it as well as many people who come from neighboring places.
I believe that as more and more hechsherim start charging more and demanding more from stores, there will be more and more stores without hechsherim. Or they will hire single rabbis who may or may not be familiar to people. I would rather my store be highjacked by the mob then by a rabbi. Because at least with the mob i would get protection.
