Episode 1597
Published 2 years, 1 month ago
Description
Lina Khan’s Federal Trade Commission goes to court to stop the supermarket giants Kroger and Albertsons from combining, arguing it could raise food prices and limit competition for union workers. But the companies say the opposite, arguing that they're under pressure from club stores, online outlets, and more. Plus, the FTC loses a separate case on noncompete agreements.
