Lever: Kroger and Albertsons’ Dirty Tricks To Preserve Greedflation

Lever (8/26/24 ([link removed]) )

This week on CounterSpin: The country’s largest and second-largest grocery store chains want to merge and, surprising no one, they claim ([link removed]) that giving them that tremendous market power will lead to lower prices, better quality food and better conditions for workers. The FTC says, hold on a second, how does that square with on-the-record statements ([link removed]) that Kroger is currently raising the prices of things like eggs and milk above inflation rates, simply because they can get away with it—a practice known as price-gouging? The response, dutifully reported in corporate news media is: We won’t do that anymore! And also: If you try to stop us, that’s illegal!

It could hardly be clearer that the public—consumers and workers—needs advocates willing to go behind talking points to enforceable law. Freddy Brewster is a writer and journalist; his report on the possible Kroger/Albertsons megamerger, its implications, and the behind the scenes shenanigans attendant to it, appears on LeverNews.com ([link removed]) . We hear about that this week on CounterSpin.
