Why should the government have anything to say about price negotiations between producers and retailers of frozen pizzas?
Robinson-Patman is terrible law that’s more or less impossible to enforce equitably. So it hasn’t been.

I hope government representatives have things to say about that.
A world where it’s enforced uniformly and strictly might have some local benefits, but getting the government involved in regulating every wholesale transaction for “fairness” is a recipe for stagnation, corruption, or more likely both.
It’s much better for governments to be principled, and only interfere with mutually voluntary engagements by citizens when there’s an urgent harm to remedy.
