With grocery prices being what they are, I can't imagine any rational person thinks this is a good idea.
Edit: Even without high grocery prices, having this much of a monopoly on groceries would be insane.

Because he is being bribed to say it is good
Curious how much it cost Kroger-Albertsons to get this support? What was it worth to sell out workers and consumers?
If donation histories from other politicians I've seen are any indication, it's sad how little these people sell out for. If only they all joined a union, they could leverage their political positions to get much more money out of the corporations.
When it comes to Dave Yost, I don't see anything in the last five years specific to Kroger or Albertsons - not to say they didn't funnel money to his campaign somehow - got about $6,000 from a couple food companies.
Steve Marshall of Alabama fame got $2,000 or so.
Georgia's Chris Carr seems to be an outlier here in that he gets most of his funding from a variety of alcohol distributors and himself to the tune of roughly $400,000.
That leaves us with Tom Miller representing Iowa, by all appearances doesn't get donations from 'big food' but does get consistent donations from Berkshire Hathaway, which I think is strange for a Democrat, but it's probably a normalized oddity.
Well if republiQan AG's are behind it, it must be a good idea
