    Did he say anything about the Albertsons+Kroger merger that’s in the works? ‘Cause that’s not going to make things better and they are acting like it’s a done deal.

      Yes there’s obviously a decent amount of hey look at me I’m electable going on. But if you take a nationwide chain or two head on and make them lower their prices, It’s not like the other chains can ignore it.

      The whole point of capitalism is that supposed to be happening all the time. We’re just allowing all the big names to buy up all the small names until there’s no one else to keep them honest.
