>Amusingly, the law firm representing Kroger is Arnold & Porter, whose antitrust practice is headed by Debbie Feinstein, the Obama era FTC Bureau of Competition Director who actually approved the Albertsons/Safeway merger and its laughably stupid remedy.
I bet it does go through
- KerrAvon 4y agoNot necessarily. Biden's head of the FTC is strikingly unsympathetic to big mergers and other large business shenanigans. Obama's presidency was awful. Every promise to the center/left broken, and a huge, continuous giveaway to the right, who repaid him by slapping him in the face. He implemented Romney's healthcare plan. He kept the bankers out of jail / gallows after the 2008 crisis -- "Too big to fail". (The bankers repaid Obama's kindness by heavily funding the GOP.) He kept us in Afghanistan. And Republicans hated him for giving them everything they wanted. So frustrating to watch.
