    They didn’t think they could get away with raising prices so far before. And they would pay us nothing if they could.

    What does “get away” with it mean? Why can’t they pay us nothing?

      Because we fought a war over it and made it illegal. And previously it was assumed price increases would drive customers away. But the monopoly power of corporations like Kroger’s had gone further than anyone thought.

              If you’re going to post so many comments, at least read the chain. Otherwise someone might mistake you for a troll.

                  Oh, perfect recall then? In that case you know exactly where in your line of 5 year old style questioning that slavery was mentioned.
