1. But do not forget.... Thankfully Biden FTC admin stopped Merger w/ Kroger

Let’s also not forget the feet of clay. Albertsons was trying to merge with Kroger to further corporate consolidation.

Biden’s FTC — the first to actively challenge corporate power since Reagan began our 2nd Gilded Age, blocked it, and got Kroger execs to admit they price gouged on, yes, eggs.

4. Meh...groceries are a bit like farmers...

Without "DEI" hires they'd have nobody to stock shelves and mop the floors.

The fact that they don't play the semantics game with RWers is kinda nice, but they know they're not gonna get enough white folk hired to staff their stores without huge increases in pay scales.

5. this is good news for us since our go-to big supermarket is Albertson's

Once in a great while I will stop in at Tom Thumb.

My daughter shops at Fry's which is Kroger. They are doing the same as Alberton's and Costco, right?

6. Well shit. Our Albertsons closed years ago.

7. Albertsons owns safeway

Somehow the smaller chain bought the larger and mostly moved to safeway branding for stores

8. Lots of HyVee and Bakers (which Kroger's owns) around here.

No Safeway.

There is a local store that supposedly leans left called Super Saver that I frequent.

9. Sadly we lost our Albertsons in 2020.

Before the lock down.

10. Just ordered from Albertsons today!

Love them — along with Vons/Pavilions. Lots of good store brands along with name brands and friendly DIVERSE employees!
