We’re back at the evil supermarket ‘duopoly’ again. Australia doesn’t have a supermarket duopoly. Aldi and IGA for example have been other options for years. Aldi is cheaper than either of the Big 2. But people mostly still shop with the Big 2. For the same reason car racing has been Holden v Ford. And football is NSW v Queensland. And political Labor v Liberal. And energy renewables v nuclear. ‘Brand loyalty’ i.e. team sports. All life is really football, it uses that same social mechanism.
