   They just banned algorithmic pricing in seattle grocery stores. What that means and how they can possibly enforce it, I have no idea.

         Regulation of predatory pricing practices is a primary function of government.

            It's a reach to even say that's a function of government. It's definitely not a primary function. Outside of a few relatively brief failed experiments, it's not historically something that government does at all.

               The history of regulating monpolies in the usa is indeed long and sparse.
