1. WILL adversely effect BOTH prices and jobs (imo.)

2. Of course, it's that "efficiency" thing

Duplicate jobs eliminated.

Less competition, so higher prices and probably worse selection.

3. Well currently In My hometown

My choice for groceries is (Not counting Walgreens or dollar store)
Safeway and Fred Meyer and grocery outlet
In the next town over I have Safeway and Albertsons which is essentially the same then there’s Walmart and just a new Winco, grocery outlet & Big lots that carry some groceries I guess there’s a target also that carries some groceries.
So what you’re telling me my few choices which are certainly duplicated already will be even more duplicated
Great

4. Krogers will essentially have a monopoly on groceries in this area.

And everyone knows what that means for prices for food.

Well, there is always the dollar store -- not much selection but affordable.
