5. Another example involves Food Lion. Pepsi sees Food Lion as the "worst offender," because it prices Pepsi products below Walmart. So Pepsi creates a multi-year roadmap to force Food Lion to raise its prices.

What's especially crazy about this is that it's an unbelievably cheap intervention. It costs approximately zero dollars and saves lives. There is essentially no material elements to compete over. There's nothing left but animus.
More research showing a thing the GC movement wishes to deny trans people, in this case respecting their name and pronouns, is a thing that improves mental health and could prevent a death by suicide, yet still they persist.
“Transgender and nonbinary youth (ages 13 to 24) whose pronouns are respected were 31 percent less likely to attempt suicide in the past year than those whose pronouns are not respected, according to a new report from The Trevor Project”

Importantly, this wouldn't have passed without Dem support. There was enough of a split within Republican ranks that if Dems had voted against the bill it would've been doa. Giving Trump a blank check to warmonger *and* passing an anti-trans measure was a choice.

New research found that Instacart is charging shoppers different prices — despite ordering the same items from the same store at the same time.
The price differences could amount to an extra $1,200 a year for the average household of four.
Corporate greed is out of control.
