Kroger Invests $1B in Antitrust Defense.
"Consumers would be better served if companies could spend more time on improving their services and less on fending off litigation." ~Noah C. Gould
So maybe it's just me, but if you have to make promises of spending a billion dollars so that the government will let you buy your next biggest competitor, perhaps you're already too damn big and don't need to be gobbling up your entire industry?
Like I said, just a thought.
Pretty big thought you've got there.
Have you considered joining forces with another influential thought leader such as @oakey66@lemm.ee? Together you could better serve the commenting community across the platform.
The definition of having too much influence.
Fuck Kroger
They killed Lucky's. It was the best damn grocery store I've ever had. It had such potential.
revolting proof that the bigger the organization, the less responsibility to humanity it contains. money over humans. gross
We sorely need some politicians who are not bought and paid for in this country. The amount of deregulated bullshit, or regulations not being upheld, is too damn high.
The court needs to go down hard on Kroger
If it gets to the Supreme Court, I'm sure they'll go down on them all night long.
Sucking corporate dick is the one thing the courts do best, so I can basically promise you’ll get your wish.
Irrelevant to the discussion but Kroger fucking sucks as a grocery store in general. I think I'd rather go to Walmart than Kroger
Their onions are often rotten inside despite the outside looking fine. There’s a local Korean market near stocks local produce as well and it’s always way better. Kroger has reached the “line must go up” enshittification point, it seems.
Walmart consistently saves me $10 per grocery trip at a minimum and their vegetables are fresher!
I don’t see any concrete promise made, much less any penalty holding them to a concrete promise.
Explains why their storefronts have gone to absolute shit.
$800 million spent in merger fees, they are almost at their $1billuon investment into "lowering prices"
