NDP leader Avi Lewis has called for public grocery stores and an end to grocery monopolies.

MUST-WATCH: "Until they drive prices UP... Americans aren't complaining right now that prices are too LOW."

Rockefeller became a billionaire through monopolies. Who Americans chose to remember?

Better idea: socialize monopolies. Monopolies are extremely efficient, so just make them work for public benefit instead of private profit

also the program of destroying monopolies nad empowering unions is good and he's an impressive advocate for it.

A great learning opportunity imo, to talk about censorship, tech monopolies, and to help students navigate other search engines, including library databases, to help them research their ideas

And monopolies.

Truly, nobody in Canadian politics has ever thought to say ‘monopolies are making things expensive’
Everyone on the left (especially in Canada) should watch and learn from this.

If you want to make capitalism more fair and just, you have to be able to understand its inner workings better than its own advocates do. AES clearly does.

“In essence, Anthropic looks less like a stand-alone business and more like four monopolies in a trench coat.”
Anthropic Isn't Just a Company, It's a Payoff
The trillion dollar Anthropic IPO will enrich Google and Amazon, who are ostensibly competitors. How does that make sense? It doesn’t, unless Anthropic is four flailing monopolies in a trench coat.

We need to 'Rockefeller' the monopolies.
November 1, 2026 at 5:31 PM
Break up all monopolies. Full stop.

Maybe monopolies weren't such a good idea

Monopolies are bad, including in politics.

It’s time to rotate the fields, especially in our government.

This isn’t about your favorite political sports team. It’s not about putting party first. It’s about putting Texas first.

History is full of near-monopolies that thought they could behave as if they were monopolies, and now are no more.

Google may well become another.

now break up grocery monopolies
November 3, 2026 at 2:22 PM
Perfect. Show the oligarchs we have options. These monopolies have to go.

I remember when Monopolies were illegal. 🤨

Break up monopolies. Close the gap in wage disparity. Tax churches.

It's high time monopolies were broken up and we close the gap between employee and executive compensation.

Fix affordability once and for all.

Abdul El-Sayed: If you believe in a woman's right to choose, if you believe in more healthcare, not less, if you believe that we've got to address climate change. If you believe that we should stand up to corporations and oligopolies and monopolies, there's really only one choice in this campaign.

These monopolies and mega mergers need to be made illegal again as well as corporate stock buybacks.

Fox Corp already owns Tubi and is buying Roku and I just don’t know why we even bothered learning about monopolies in school.

When all is said and done, someone needs to study whether the number of monopolies increased during this era.
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — DoorDash agrees to buy Instacart for $17 billion in a big consolidation of the grocery delivery business.

Monopolies are bad actually.
