Where does SafeWay fit into all this? Are they just an insurgent organization across the West Coast?

Safeway is owned by Cerberus Capital / The Mercers, so probably it's own archipelago of slave plantations

also literally already on the map since Cerberus also owns Albertsons, which acquired/merged with Safeway back in 2015

:lol: if anything, Kroger buying up a grocery chain makes it actively shittier.

In my experience, Kroger is a bottom tier chain, they're just everywhere. Sadly some places like Kansas (Dillon's), it's the only option you have outside of Walmart.

I do miss the fact that you could buy lovely Chinese food at Dillon's though, sometimes in the darkest nights, I crave that Honey Potato Chicken.

The gently caress is Wawa-Wegmans? Eastern New England won't join this. This is Market Basket territory.

Edit: Maine split from that split and just be Hannaford's.

Yeah, lived in CT and Mass for 20 years each give or take and have no clue what a Wegmans is and the only Wawa I've ever seen was in mid-ct and closed up shop in the 90s.

In New England, there'll be a further war between Stop & Shop, Shaws/Star Market, Hannaford and Market Basket and we'll end up a bunch of micro states.

They buy an established chain in a region, then don’t change the name. That way, people don’t immediately notice a change and keep going.

It’s really weird to see these Balkanization maps based around grocery stores when you live in the Chicagoland area. Those maps should have Chicago to be updated to be a no mans land, or maybe a neutral territory. There are so many different chains, both local and national. Hell, within less than a .5 mile radius from the same major intersection in the suburbs, there are 4 grocery stores: Whole Foods, Aldi, Jewel, Pete’s Fresh Market (local chain).

If the state governor can't issue a stay at home order, why would counties be able to. Counties in the US system derive their legal power from the state.

just because people are feeling good and reopening doesnt mean the virus gives a gently caress. this is the dead cat bounce.

as the death counts continue to grow exponentially lockdown 2: electric boogaloo will be much harsher than before. and of course the response from idiot yahoos will be harsher than last time as well. give it time.

If a hundred Texans fought a hundred Floridan who do you think would win?

My bet is on Florida. They are all equally crazy which makes them cohesive. They would just chuck the gently caress outta Alligators at Texans.

Meanwhile Texans would just be arguing over who is the most Texan between Central, West, East, and coastal Texans, while the city Texans would be trying build a coffee shop.
