Open Markets is proud to join the coalition supporting this bill.

Hardworking Americans deserve to know how much a gallon of milk is going to cost without algorithms using their sensitive data to price gouge them in real time.

Image with a CNBC headline that reads "Democrats ask Google whether talks with Trump over censorship suit include possible ‘quid-pro-quo’ deal"

Is Google considering settling a questionable lawsuit with Trump in exchange for favorable treatment?

Even under Trump, bribery is illegal.

I'm looking into this because Trump is not a king and corporations should not bow down to him.

Trump tried to destroy a USDA think tank. Here’s what other U.S. agencies could learn from its fate After the Economic Research Service was moved to Kansas City in 2019, staffing and productivity took a dive

The Montana Supreme Court says the framers who enacted the state's constitution refused to "grant the State a free pass to pollute the Montana environment just because the rest of the world insisted on doing so." A lot here about climate change in Montana. juddocumentservice.mt.gov/getDocByCTra...

Craig Beach Sparkle Market closing at end of October Hacker says the combination of Craig Beach's small population size, along with two competing dollar stores in the area has made it difficult for the store to make money.

Another town has lost its only grocery store, which wasn't able to meet its expenses “after the village allowed three dollar stores to open up within three miles.”

Big suppliers often favor dollar chains with price advantages over local stores, likely in violation of Robinson-Patman.
