    Because we fought a war over it and made it illegal. And previously it was assumed price increases would drive customers away. But the monopoly power of corporations like Kroger’s had gone further than anyone thought.

        Okay, on the chance you’re not American, the American Civil War, and slavery.

            If you’re going to post so many comments, at least read the chain. Otherwise someone might mistake you for a troll.

                Oh, perfect recall then? In that case you know exactly where in your line of 5 year old style questioning that slavery was mentioned.

                    That is not the Socratic method. Questioning how the CEO of a corporation has control over pricing is just trolling.
