Problem: 5 companies control 80% of the retail grocery market.
Solution: Ask their bosses to be a little less greedy, please.
Solution: Tax the fuck out of them, and use that money as a rebate for smaller grocery retailers, or direct to consumers.
This. This a thousand times.
We're too unwilling to use punitive taxation against the rich, and we shouldn't be.
When you make millions, or billions, per year in post-tax profit you can certainly afford it. And if they don't want to pay the tax, they can invest those profits back into their business.
