Yeah... I don't get it. Maybe I'm not seeing it from disadvantaged/poor communities, but I don't actually see how this would impact them. The Whole Foods-Amazon merger will do either one of the following:
1) Whole Foods will continue to keep its prices as high as it does. Poorer/disadvantaged communities will continue to not shop at Whole Foods as it is out of their price range.
2) Amazon lowers Whole Foods prices. Whole Foods becomes affordable for more communities. If Whole Foods expands into poorer communities with these lowered prices, it will give poorer communities more access to groceries. If Whole Foods does not expand into these poor communities, storefronts like Smart & Final, Walmarts, Big Lots!, Ralphs, VONS, etc will continue to exist.
I really fail to see the problem here.
