Long story short: tell our FTC to stop the proposed Kroger/Albertsons merger, tell our EPA to stop power plant pollution, and tell President Biden to get with the firing of Postmaster General DeJoy already. Use the email/petition tools in the following paragraphs to communicate your will.
The Center for Science in the Public Interest helps you tell our Federal Trade Commission (or FTC) to stop the proposed Kroger/Albertsons merger, which would, and stop me if you’ve heard this before, put over two dozen supermarket brands under one owner, which would in turn close stores, kill jobs, and raise prices for good Americans. Raise prices, you say? Obviously! We’ve witnessed over two years of corporations raising prices because they could, and making corporations bigger, and therefore more powerful, only means we'll have a lot more inflation. Now, by all the evidence, our FTC finds all of these statements sympathetic, but we still have to speak out.
Both the League of Conservation Voters and Penn Environment help you tell our Environmental Protection Agency (or EPA) to limit power plant pollution as vigorously as possible. And you can sign both petitions if you like, since the first deals with power plant pollution generally and the second deals with coal wastewater pollution specifically. Don’t believe the hype that Joe Manchin will single-handedly repeal his own Inflation Reduction Act if we make power plants pollute less, because do Americans let themselves get taken hostage all the time? No, we do not – in fact, all this relentless hostage-taking is kinda un-American. ZOMG I said the “u” word! I try to avoid saying it, but when I say it, I don’t regret it.
Finally, Daily Kos helps you tell President Biden to take the necessary steps to fire Postmaster General Louis DeJoy already. One more time: his 10-year plan to “revitalize” our Postal Service involves service cuts, slashing jobs, and raising prices; what a visionary plan that is! Is this why fools say the private sector works so much better than the public sector? Because worse service, fewer jobs, and higher prices sure don’t sound better! Figure in also that service cuts translates directly to good Americans not getting life-saving medicines through the mail, and you’ll see that we still need to save our Postal Service.
