@cagovernornewsom.bsky.social This is why Californians need #AB1857 and #AB1776 to rein in big grocers and protect food access and affordability. #caleg www.sfgate.com/food/article...
Giant California grocery chain is restricting people's access to food
"Entire childhoods went by without families having a nearby grocery store."

California's #AB1776 closes CA's antitrust loophole: stopping single dominant firms from abusing market power, not just collusion between companies. More competition means more choices for everyone. We join @techequity.bsky.social in supporting this important bill!
Many large companies are raising prices, exploiting their workers, and harming consumers with little accountability. How are they getting away with it?
By using their size to stifle competition, becoming the only game in town, so you have no choice but to pay their prices and work for their wages.

99% of California businesses are small. It's time our laws supported an economy in which they can thrive. That’s why Yelp just endorsed the COMPETE Act #AB1776—because they've seen what unchecked monopoly power does to competition firsthand.

Private equity and monopolies drive up the cost of health care. 📈💸
Skyrocketing costs then eat into workers’ wages, force patients to delay treatment and put consumers in crushing medical debt. ❤️🩹

In 2013, a fire truck cost $500,000.
In 2023, the same truck cost $1,000,000.
Why? Private Equity and giant corporations took control of the industry and jacked up prices.

With #AB1776 now before the California Senate, lawmakers should hear directly from the #smallbiz that could feel its consequences.
In The OC Register, one business owner explains why AB 1776 could make it even harder for businesses like hers to compete and grow.

California small businesses need smart laws that help us make the most of today’s integrated digital tools and allow us to grow and compete — not radical policies that jeopardize our future.

Competition in California is protected by the Cartwright Act, but the law can be hard to enforce, as recently noted by the California Law Revision Commission (CLRC). Luckily, the CLRC also outlined some solutions.
