The Federal Trade Commission is trying to stop the merger of two of the US’s largest grocery-store chains, Kroger and Albertsons. In response, the companies are suing to undermine the FTC and dismantle the country’s antitrust machinery.
Sadly, the Supreme court right wing activist judges are working to make those rules unconstitutional and Kroger’s lawsuit language makes clear they counting on that.
Maybe we need something like the Tied House Laws to establish a three-tier system where manufacturers, distributors, and retailers need to be separate companies.
Sounds like they’re too large and need to be broken up via the existing anti-trust laws actually being enforced.
