If you think food is expensive now, just waiting until the next administration allows this merger to go through.

Just think of the money they’ll save from no longer having to communicate their conspiracy price-fixing once they’re one company.
They'll wait a couple years, bribe Trump's admin and then have it pass then
They'll wait a couple ~~years~~ months, bribe Trump's admin and then have it pass then
They’ll wait a couple ~~years~~ months, bribe Trump’s admin and then have it ~~pass~~ be part of the rewritten constitution then
Yeah maybe a few months is more accurate everything else is happening on such a faster time scale now
Thank. God.
So does that mean it's permanently blocked, or just paused? Which injunction takes precedent?
at least postponed until donvict can get paid to force the deal through.
It was bad enough when Safeway and Albertson's merged. There were major shenanigans afoot when that happened.
In order to get approval for THAT deal, Albertson's had agreed to sell off some stores to Haggen.
That resulted in a $1B lawsuit.

This is ridiculous, we need more competition in the grocery business, not less. The idea that one grocery giant could spend billions buying another grocery giant would be laughable if it didn’t have such grim implications. Welcome to the latter days of capitalism.
The companies said a merger would help them better compete with big retailers like Walmart, Costco and Amazon.
You ARE big retailers!
Hurray and fuck Albertsons for destroying their last merger.
