Why is stuff so expensive?

[dudmuck]

4 companies control 55% to 85% of the meat market.

4 airlines control 80% of air travel.

3 companies control 92% of the soda market.

3 companies control 73% of the cereal market.

Why don't I hear about it?

6 companies control 90% of the news.

thanks for the summary. It looks like its the open markets institute that addresses this sort of problem. I guess its called oligopoly. And food & power, worth keeping an eye on that.

Did all that happen on Tater’s watch, cuz that’s when prices skyrocketed.

And our criminal government allow this massive consolidation of business. Time for a change.

If it makes you feel any better, the FTC blocked the merger of Kroger and Albertsons, on the grounds it might lead to higher food prices.
