It’s not the stores, it’s the conglomerates. Their volume increased dramatically during COVID. They did not chase this increase with extra capacity and smaller producers did not have the capacity to steal the sales. The conglomerates made great margins, while streamlining their product assortments— less work, more money.
This is only a piece of the inflation we are seeing. Fuel prices are probably a bigger piece of the increases.
My opinion- Trump has the money and he is letting Letitia run with her seizures, at least for now. The optics are good for him. He will use this to Garner even more support.
I like to be pessimistically optimistic. The decision certainly helps Trump, but didn’t kill the case.
On another note Fani will be up to ears defending herself on many fronts, while still pursuing this case. She is not smart enough to do all of this at the same time. She will have to choose what dragon to slay.
