Why break them up when you can just let them get bigger. I'd bet my job the fucking merger is still happening.

Of course it’s still happening, this is just a side puppet show to distract from that fact. Now they’ve realized most of the population would vote in an uneducated felon again, so they see they faked having a heart for nothing. Which was cutting into their profits all along.

Until there’s serious consequences and bankruptcy looming, they’ll continue shitting on us like we’re Japanese businessmen with a fetish.

Lina Kahn has been going hard after monopolies lately. I will take that bet so long as she is FTC head.

What merger?

And Kroger is a monopoly? I see Walmarts everywhere. Target to a lesser extent. Definitely an oligopoly.

Kroger & albertsons\safeway. I'd still have Costco Walmart and winco but a lot of locations don't have as much competition.

Some places only have a dollar store. Shudder.
