    My main takeaway from this article is that Walmart controls nearly twice the market share of Kroger and Albertsons combined - and needs to be broken up.

      Yep, that was the conclusion I came to as well.

      Stop them building more stores at the very least.

      There should be automatic break ups of companies that take up too much of the market share.

      A hard limit would have an effect, but companies would intentionally just barely hover under the limit. Maybe if it was a chace based thing proportional to their market share. Might be worth looking into.
