For all of these companies trying to merge the default answer should be no. Merging companies isn't good for capitalism at all in any way so if any company wants to merge they should have to get special permissions. This shit is out of control.
Agreed. I have no issues with capitalism but I have a huge issue with monopolies. Just buying out the competition isn’t competing.
One of the possibilities would be a cooperative chain. They don't go for profit so can seriously undercut these price gougers.
