    If this results in the Kroger Albertsons merger going through I’m going to be so pissed.

    Aside from that, we have far too many monopolistic companies that need to be brought down a peg. This is going to be miserable.

      It’s going to happen. I’m making it a point over the next two months to get my pantry as full as possible before Trump reenters office, just buying extra rice and beans and canned veggies and such.

      Luckily my job includes market-adjustment salary increases, so as far as wages go, my job always keeps up with the market. I’m hoping it’ll be enough.

      This hardly matters. Trump has always said he’s not going to respect the rule of law, and now, with really unprecedented total control of all 3 branches of government (as in, the people that were elected and already there support HIM SPECIFICALLY, not just his party affiliation), he’s in a prime spot to just do whatever he likes.
