Yes! After decades of declining to enforce the Robinson-Patman Act, the FTC has filed a case! This is fantastic news for local, independent retailers and the customers and communities they serve.
And big thanks to Commissioner Bedoya, who has been leading the call for a fair playing field.

In 1936, Congress passed a law to level the playing field for rural grocers. For 25 years the government didn't enforce it. Today, FTC is suing Southern Glazer's so mom & pop grocery & liquor stores get the same discounts as their billionaire competitors. www.ftc.gov/news-events/...
