Covid was a global emergency at one point.

Yup and the argument over if it qualifies or if they were doing it at the time is for the lawyers.

Right? My favorite. It’s not really something that’s enforceable on that level though. It would be easier to bring prices down by breaking up these large companies. And if that fails, just start a government grocery store that opens up in food deserts first, then in high cost of living areas. See what happens to prices when they need to justify people going there instead of the government store.
