    • Abstract:
      Kroger and Albertsons, two major grocery store chains, are attempting to merge in a $24.6 billion deal, which would be the largest supermarket merger in U.S. history. However, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has filed a lawsuit to block the merger, arguing that it would create unfair competition and lead to higher grocery prices. In other news, mosquitoes are spreading diseases such as EEE (eastern equine encephalitis) and West Nile virus, causing concern among health officials. Finally, the Paralympics have begun in Paris, featuring over 4,000 athletes competing in 22 sports, including unique events like boccia and goalball. [Extracted from the article]
