    This is news to me! You got a link to a credible source? I’d love to read it so I can hopefully change my opinion some.

    EDIT>> Found it on my own, and it’s the FTC, not the FCC. And this was posted one day ago, so I would think I could be forgiven for that :) (Seems it’s been in the works since March, at least) https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/grocery-cost-inflation-investigation-b2594782.html

      Investigation report form March LINK

      April actions LINK

      2 days ago LINK

      Also they sued to stop the Albertsons Kroger Merger LINK

      Everything else I said was pure assertion on my part, but the point still stands

        Thanks! That’s definitely more than I found. I didn’t know it goes back to March. Much appreciated.

          Well you can find various FCC lawsuits going back decades but nobody ever talks about any of that stuff.

              FTC oversees securities exchanges, primarily. Things like the stock market.

                    No worries! Happens to me all the time in real life.
