A new report from the Federal Trade Commission says #grocery price hikes during the #pandemic cannot be justified by supply chain disruptions - leading consumer advocates to call foul. pnsne.ws/4djvew0
“Local policies can either help or hinder community-led clean energy solutions — but according to a new report, most states are doing more hindering than helping.” @CanaryMediaInc highlighted our Community Power Scorecard ⬇️ canarymedia.com/articles/clean…
Is your state a national leader on policies that support local clean energy action? Find out in our 2024 Community Power Scorecard! ⬇️ ilsr.org/2024-community…
“Communities dominated by global retail chains function in many respects like the colonial economies of the European superpowers, which were organized not to foster local development and prosperity but to enrich the colonizers.” @stacyfmitchell in @Salon salon.com/2024/03/27/hid…
The FTC confirmed what has been clear for years: that during the pandemic, the most powerful grocers in America used their muscle to bully their suppliers at the expense of mom-and-pop stores. Now its time to take action. New from me in @TheProspect prospect.org/economy/2024-0…
How's your state doing? ILSR's new Community Power Scorecard is the *most* comprehensive look at policies that enable clean, local power. Local solar ✅ City authority ✅ Utility accountability ✅ ilsr.org/2024-community… #EnergyDemocracy #ClimateAction #SOLAR
NEW: Dollar General is stealing from their customers. They put one price on items and charge another—higher—price at the register. It’s a major scam that’s siphoning hundreds of millions of dollars from the poorest people in America.
"The smallest towns and poorest communities used to have a grocery store. What has changed is consolidation and a lack of antitrust enforcement.” — Me talking to @CNN about dollar stores and food deserts cnn.com/2024/03/15/bus…
"The Justice Department...chose to build a broader and more ambitious case than any other regulator has.... Rather than narrowly focus on the App Store, as European regulators have, it focused on Apple’s entire ecosystem of products and services." nytimes.com/2024/03/21/tec…
Part of Amazon's business model is self-preferencing its own products over those of small businesses. It's absurd for @SBAgov to recognize Amazon as a partner to small business. #SBADumpAmazon 🛍️🛒

Is your state preventing communities from taking meaningful action around climate change? (Spoiler alert: Probably 😕) Find out in our 2024 Community Power Scorecard! ilsr.org/2024-community…
How well is your state doing at supporting local clean energy action and holding #monopoly utilities accountable – and how can it do better? Find out in ILSR’s just-released 2024 Community Power Scorecard! ilsr.org/2024-community… #CleanEnergy #EnergyDemocracy

"You have millions of consumers, thousands of producers, controlled by a handful of companies ... They’re creating markets that just don't seem fair." ICYMI: @AnandWrites interviews @linakhanFTC on why antitrust is crucial to protecting our freedoms.👇 the.ink/p/lina-khan-ft…
Dynamic pricing is exploitation, made that much worse when monopolies like Amazon use it to squeeze every penny out of shoppers. Its troves of data and stranglehold on online shopping leave folks left paying whatever the algorithm dictates. vox.com/money/24105250…
Keep National Small Business Week small. Small businesses need support from sponsors who have their best interests at heart. #SBADumpAmazon @ABAbook
"You see dynamic pricing in places where you also see a lot of market power,” says @ronmknox. Amazon has so much pricing power in part because it’s “one of the world’s best collectors of consumer data.”
"You see dynamic pricing in places where you also see a lot of market power,” says @ronmknox. Amazon has so much pricing power in part because it’s “one of the world’s best collectors of consumer data.”
With the FTC investigating Amazon for anticompetitive practices that hurt countless small businesses, the time has come for the @SBAgov to dump Amazon as a co-sponsor of National Small Business Week. PLEASE AMPLIFY! #SBADumpAmazon
Great piece by @ilsr's Sean Gonsalves on how public broadband networks can pick up the pieces from the likely demise of the Affordable Connectivity Program. Unlike private ISPs, community networks have an incentive to serve everyone, regardless of income. prospect.org/economy/2024-0…
