Thank you for doing the OP's job.

Warren was not taking about grocers, as the OP alleges in her erroneous headline, but instead was talking about the monopolies of food producers.

There is a huge difference.
No corporation can form a monopoly without the help of the government.

Without exception, every government policy is helping one or some corporations to form a monopoly.

Which has nothing to do with the fact that the OP didn't provide a link to substantiate her claims.

Hey, Senator Karen, have a Snickers!
Senator Karen can feel free to never set foot in a grocery store or a restaurant again. Maybe Pocahontas can go back to her Native American roots and live off the land like her long ago ancestors did (except she lied about that, too).

If Senator Karen had it her way, she and her good friends would be eating in fancy restaurants every night while the rest of us make due with our monthly brick of government cheese and loaf of moldy, stale bread.

Forget that.

The "Big Meat" jokes pointed at Senator Karen were off the charts!
