fuck is this. Biographies of amazon, kroger and albertsons? Flattering biographies at that. specifically not making any explicit point, drawing no particular conclusion at all, but somehow im strongly inferring "big scawy guvamint is blocking a widdle ol' grocery monopoly 🥺 👉👈"

"Supermarket under attack" is rather generous framing for building a monopoly that just publicly admitted to price gouging.

AGREED! The people who LITERALLY said they Price Gouged Essential American Goods are the VICTIMS in this Scenario and NOT the Americans who CAN'T AFFORD TO EAT thanks to these Supermarkets and their Admitted Price Gouging!
