Kroger projects $4.9 billion in profits in 2022.

Now it's purchasing Albertons, the second largest grocery store chain, for $25 billion.

Albertsons previously acquired Safeway for $9.2 billion.

Why are grocery prices up? Grocery store goliaths are buying the competition.

@dj @rbreich I think it’s actually the FTC which is in charge of antitrust, but no one knows because they’ve been silent.
