In the USA, the FTC is actually taking grocery store chains to court over collusion and price fixing, presumably will target specific brands once more data gets released via the court proceedings.
So there are government officials doing things about it, but nobody ever seems to give them any fucking credit and every few years we vote in new politicians who gut the agency.

This is news to me! You got a link to a credible source? I’d love to read it so I can hopefully change my opinion some.
EDIT>> Found it on my own, and it’s the FTC, not the FCC.
And this was posted one day ago, so I would think I could be forgiven for that :)(Seems it’s been in the works since March, at least) https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/grocery-cost-inflation-investigation-b2594782.htmlInvestigation report form March LINK
April actions LINK
2 days ago LINK
Also they sued to stop the Albertsons Kroger Merger LINK
Everything else I said was pure assertion on my part, but the point still stands
Thanks! That’s definitely more than I found. I didn’t know it goes back to March. Much appreciated.
Well you can find various FCC lawsuits going back decades but nobody ever talks about any of that stuff.
I think you mean FTC, but I’ll research to learn more. Thanks!
FTC oversees securities exchanges, primarily. Things like the stock market.
You’re mistaken. That’s the SEC. FTC is commerce and trade.
Ah youre right, FCC just regulates telecommunications lol my bad must have been a little foggy.
The best bureaucrat we have is Lina Khan and all the wealthy donors on both sides want her gone.
