ThatWeirdGuy1001 replylemmy.worldYeah I live in the same state. Kroger prices have gotten so high it's cheaper to just go to aldis or Walmart.8
kalkulat lemmy.worldPretty sure there are no 'monopolies are legal' clause in the Constitution. Whereas Congress has created several anti-monopoly Acts. Why heck, darn it, they've even offered to sell a dozen or two of their lower-performing stores if that would clinch the deal.7
