I read about Attorney General Aaron Ford taking action to join other states in possibly blocking the merger of Kroger and Albertsons. But I was taken aback when I read that his main concern involved union workers and their jobs. Mr. Ford should realize that, for nonunion persons, disabled persons, senior citizens, etc., the concern would be a lack of competition. Most of us shop either Albertsons, Smith’s or Smart & Final. Taking away our choices would be concerning.

I realize that unions put our state politicians into office, but please realize that there are other people in Nevada who would be affected.

Clark County commissioners claim “safety” as the reason for their proposed ban on people stopping on bridges overlooking the Strip. But a more accurate assessment would be greed.

Subsidies are like tax deductions. Somebody else has to make up for the money lost due to a tax deduction. It’s time to halt subsidies of all kinds.

LETTER: EVs are great — if you’re not going on a road trip

I’d like a cheaper way to drive. But if I owned an EV, I would also need a gasoline-powered vehicle for any trip I might want to take of more than 200 miles.
