Kroger and Albertsons CEOs head to Capitol Hill for merger hearing

This is where Kroger and Albertsons will flesh out, and defend, their arguments in favor of a merger that could directly impact tens of millions of Americans.

It's a high wire act for the CEOs, who must persuasively parrot their antitrust attorneys' talking points without stumbling.

Grocerying As a person who spent most of 50 years in the grocery industry this merger makes zero sense for consumers, zero sense for suppliers, zero sense for real estate, zero sense for operational efficiency, zero sense for workers. It only makes sense for capital managers.

Why didn’t they do the same for Twitter purchase ?
