They turned Pavilions from a nice store to another dingy grocery. I can’t imagine this going through would be good for consumers. Many neighborhoods only have access to 2 stores at best, and I suspect most are already owned by the same parent. A merger would further turn this into a monopoly.

You're not wrong, but the appointment of Lina Khan to head the FTC is easily one of the only good things Biden has done while in office.

So, at least she'll go down kicking and screaming before they finally snuff her out, metaphorically speaking.
