“Recent court actions could finally derail one of the most laughable big government regulatory crusades in recent memory. At issue is a case that the Biden-era Federal Trade Commission brought against Southern Glazer’s Wine and Spirits, the nation’s largest alcohol distributor. The agency alleges that the company violated a 1930s law, the Robinson–Patman Act, by offering larger discounts to retailers that buy in bulk. The underlying issue is simple: Should the government punish companies for giving consumers lower prices? Because that is effectively what this case does.” (04/06/26)
