YouTube - How Dollar Stores Quietly Consumed America

Fantastic Wendover Productions video on the impact of Dollar General on rural and impoverished areas - why the phenomenon is happening and what happens next. I was surprised that they opened on Faith, South Dakota - a ~350 person town about 45 minutes where I grew up. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQpUV--2Jao

These acquisitions are now notorious for the weaknesses they exposed in #antitrust practice. For example, when Dollar Tree bought #FamilyDollar, growing to 14,000 stores, the #FTC waved the merger through on condition that the new business sell off 330 of them. These ineffectual and pointless merger conditions are emblematic of the inadequacy of antitrust as it was practiced from the Reagan administration until the sea-change under Biden.
