Comment on Albanese invites Arab 'hypermarket' to compete with Coles and Woolworths
HalfEarthMedic@slrpnk.net 3 weeks agoI kind of think “whining” about systemic problems is really important.
It’s really not the consumer’s fault that we have so little competition, that is a regulatory failure. It’s not their fault that town planning places supermarkets far apart and difficult to travel between, that’s a planning failure.
Raising public awareness by “whining” is one of the few things we can do that might translate into change.

There is not no competition… it’s just lower on “convenience”.
Eg how many places do you spread your weekly shopping?

Blaming corporations for cashing in on convenience is just silly. Most colesworth stores have a local butcher, poultry and grocer next to them. Don’t expect for profit businesses to help you. Walk a few extra steps.

It is silly to blame corporations for acting like corporations. What I is for governments to act like governments and regulate corporations and provide effective town planning.
