Wow! The end state is that these corporations don't want you to actually go the grocery store. They want you to shop for groceries online - because in the actual store it is harder to change the price for individuals.

You can't support the oppressed and oppressor at the same time––history has made that clear.

Americans are going bankrupt for basic care, and so many of my Republican colleagues can't be bothered to bat an eye.
