Kroger's price gouging to pass on "inflation" to consumers has paid off, earning $466 million in Q2 2024. Its proposed merger with Albertsons faces FTC challenge over fears of a monopoly and job losses. Should consumers pay the price for corporate greed? #CorporateGreed
Don’t worry. They totally promised to lower prices if the government approves a merger to give them even more of a monopoly and thusly more direct control over pricing…

Not really sarcastic tho, theyre legitimately making that argument right now while they’re still price gouging.
Just like sprint/t mobile. They waited over a decade for the correct pieces of shit to control the ftc before even attempting the buyout, and promised that it would keep lower prices/competition.

It’s just obvious bullshit.

Instead, competition has stagnated.
