Bernie is mad he didn’t buy stock like his buddies
Since socialists are liars I wonder what Sanders’ true angle is?
Socialism: solutions so good that they have to be made mandatory by government.
Neither chain has a good produce or bakery section. I much prefer HEB.
“Free sausage...tomorrow”.
If the merger went through, she said, the combined Albertsons-Kroger and Walmart would control 70 percent or more of the market in 167 cities in the United States. “We don’t need another mega grocery store chain,” said Stacy Mitchell, co-executive director of the Institute for Local Self-Reliance, an advocacy group that challenges areas of concentrated corporate power, such as the grocery industry.
Yeah. Bernie and the gang may be liberal. But even the broken clock is right right a day. Theodore Roosevelt was a Republican and he was huge on breaking up trusts.
How many other Supermarket chains are there.
Kroger is big in the DFW area, but they are finally starting to open HEB stores here.
I don’t disagree, but of course some Antitrusts are more equal than others.
I’ve seen that video. Classic. It’s like that for the working class. Only the inner party can shop at Whole Foods. Can you afford to shop at Whole Foods? Relevant to the topic but my local grocery store is having trouble keeping up with their meat section supplied. I am sure it’s like that everywhere else.
If the morons, like Bernie, understood how to read the balance shoot and annual reports for public companies they would realize the huge corporate profits are because the companies are huge, not their profit margins, operating margins, EBITDA, or any other performance metric.
If you want to compare the margins for Exxon Mobil and JP Morgan….the outrage would not be on oil companies. Toss Microsoft into the mix…and the oil companies would fade into the distance.
Yep, in Poland, they had Pewex, where you could buy Western goods, but you had to pay for them in dollars.
What the hay? The wife and I can’t afford food anyway. We split our income between our meds and gas to see the grandkids. Our pharmacist assures us that there are plenty of calories in our meds.
Because soon there will be one company called Brawndo?...
After all...
The only thing that would satisfy communists like Bernie is for the government to own ALL the grocery stores...
Controlling the food is a key goal of these stinking american-communist bastards...
That's the catch. How do you get the dollars? Obviously, out of reach for the ordinary Pole.
Pity they never amended the Constitution to let it be lawful.
Oh, yes. It is a common trope for the Left to demonize oil companies for high consumer prices, but when you look at the where those high consumer prices come from, it turns out they are not excessive at all.
What we find DOES dramatically increase consumer fuel prices are federal and state taxes.
This is an old analysis, but I have heard that newer analyses show an even more dramatic disparity:
This creates a scenario that makes the number of stores that need to be "closed," go away. In addition, completion will remain.
Whole Foods is part of Amazon.
We can pick some items up at no extra cost at their order pickup site, and certain items sometimes fall into our Prime orders.
I would like to see someone ship groceries to homes, Walmart has almost entirely given up on it.
Walmart just quit shipping the vast majority of its foods, they are now for pickup only or door delivery in appropriate areas.
