I’d cry “antitrust” but who are we kidding at this point. The relevant parties have likely been paid off already.

"DoorDash and Instacart believe that communities benefit when Main Street competes"

That's rich! Communities benefit when small businesses compete against each other. Announced as part of a merger of two giant public companies.

But doordash says this merger means more choice for the consumer, how could antitrust play a role here? I mean, unless they're lying about removing choices from the market place will result in more choices in the market place, but doordash wouldn't do that would they?

I mean neither of these companies provide an important service. If they both disappeared tomorrow I think most people wouldn't care.
