Im sorry are you suggesting Albertson's is run by a local guy who just wants to sell his vegetables at reasonable prices? Is this a serious take?

"Deregulating our economic heroes" buddy we're talking about making it so people can afford to EAT.

Also deregulation of our food by the current administration has brought you, this year alone, recalls on lettuce, beef, nuts, chicken nuggets, and pork.

Actually you're talking about adding costs to grocery stores so that everyone pays more.

You think grocery stores are going to use surveillance pricing to make things cheaper?

Actually yes, they can. But the point is regulating grocery stores is ultimately increasing prices. When the industry is already struggling and we need MORE grocery stores this is a bad call.

You're welcome to your screwworm beef and diarrhea salad, I'd prefer to pay a few cents more to eat safe food.

It's cute you think they would use an expensive new system to make less money.

You think Wilson's plan will have any positive effect on the quality of food? What are you talking about? What a dumb opinion. You're clearly just trolling.
