Rockefeller set prices low to run others out of business. Just showing that it works both ways, and setting low prices is the common way to run competition out of business. You don't raise prices if you seek to close some doors or make them ripe for takeover. You peg the price lower.

Governments use price supports, but that goes to an entire industry such as dairy farmers to support the price of milk to make sure there is a supply. Running stores is entirely different.

How is it "entirely different"? Do you think people from Manhattan are suddenly going to flock to the ghetto to do their grocery shopping to save a little money?

I find it hilarious that people are throwing such a fit because people in poor neighborhoods are being provided with grocery stores that the free market wasn't providing them. If the free market was providing these grocery stores New York wouldn't have to. It's not like New York is building grocery stores right next to Publix and Whole Foods and running them out of business. But I get it. For some people business is more important than people.
