As stated before Kroger has been egregious for years and even the Union was not helpful to the employees when my son was working for them five years ago. Boycotting Kroger is not option for many in many less populated areas because they are it.

I shop Food Lion but wonder if they are any better. We have two choices here and Kroger counts on their monopoly.

Money runs this country. The 1% corporations mostly and owners don't care about us except to take advantage of us as employees and consumers.

Sometimes it all gets overwhelming to feel there isn't one damn thing I can do to change life for the better. I feel for all front line workers. Three of my four kids and their mates have had Covid. All of them caught it at work as the original exposure. The 23 year old was the sickest. On day 10 she had to go back to work even though she still felt terrible. It was the State of VA and the CDC that came up with that gem. Who knows the long-term effects of this disease. A month out she still feels the effects of Covid-19.

So Kroger isn't the only culprit in the chaos of the Pandemic. But they are certainly Bullies in it.

I don't think that it can be seriously debated anymore that a significant majority corporations in this country simply don't give a sh-t about anything other than profits and/or shareholder dividends. Kroger's is just a poster-child for this greed. We live in a world filled with Gordon Gekkos (and/or Donald Trumps).
