Kroger's price gouging to pass on "inflation" to consumers has paid off, earning $466 million in Q2 2024. Its proposed merger with Albertsons faces FTC challenge over fears of a monopoly and job losses. Should consumers pay the price for corporate greed? #CorporateGreed

    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.
