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…

/s

Not really sarcastic tho, theyre legitimately making that argument right now while they’re still price gouging.

It’s just obvious bullshit.

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.

Instead, competition has stagnated.

Regulators! Mount up.

…no, really. Do your jobs and regulate.

We need to get rid of politicians who are bought and paid for by corporations.

You speak like our regulators aren’t bought and paid for as well.

Regulators are politicians. That’s literally the point of the comment.

Not necessarily. You don’t have to be a politician to be appointed to a regulatory position.

Clearly no government agency is going to do shit about the price gouging, so why would they stop?

Haven’t shopped there since this was announced. And it’s walking distance to my house.

Fuck. Kroger

Same here and it’s the only store that is within *biking distance that doesn’t require dodging lifted magat trucks and risking your life to get to. I’m done though.
