Bezos backing down while at the same time owning a newspaper is pretty pretty pretty shite.
As a European, I must thank the US for making my pet products cheaper. Way cheaper. Way cheaper than I could ever expect.
I just wish I could buy these products, these same products, without ruining the world and my morality as well.
But what am I talking about… my cats deserve litter robots at 90 % discount. (Edit: obviously sarcasm)
I know it's not the takeaway from your post, but if you're actually getting one please test the litter robot throughly before allowing your cat to use it unsupervised. I've seen videos of horrible designs that have killed pets before and when word gets out, they just re-brand them.
The mean girls oligarch shunning is actually kind of hilarious
Keep pissing off the elite, trump,.please keep pissing them off.
I love how they get poorer and want to get rid of you some way
Gotta love the parasite class turning on eachother
Temu, taobao, alibaba all openly show 150% tariffs in their ui.
Go try checking out.
Amazon might hide it but it sells all the same products so not gonna deceive many
I don't think you understand how stupid the average person is. There is a decent chance this will all be biden inflation in their minds and not tariffs if there isn't literally a thing that says "tariff charge" on it. Even then they will probably see that and think it's just there to lie and hurt Trump
Trump has been bragging about how he would put tariffs on everything for a few years. Why is pointing out the tariffs he is bragging about an act of hostility towards him? You would think he would want his accomplishment to be pointed out.
I was wondering when retailers would do this. American retailers do this with all other large taxes and fees. Why would this be any different?
I would call this move by Amazon honest.
I thought the same but apparently Amazon back-tracked like the wimps they are. It would have been the right thing to do but the fact they gave up on it makes a lot more sense.
Nah, it's pragmatic. This way Amazon can go, 'see we didn't raise OUR prices, the extra cost is from the tarrifs'.
If they wanted to be honest they would also mention that Bezos and Amazon donated millions (that we know of) to Trump's campaign AND inauguration fund, and Trump is why we have the tariffs in the first place.
If you literally GIVE someone a gun, and bullets, knowing full well that they aren't mentally stable, and they kill someone, you ARE responsible. At the very least, an accessory. In this case, co-conspirator is the more appropriate term.
MAGAts are the ones that are hostile to our pocketbooks.
I would be pissed if they didn't. Getting surprised AFTER the purchase with an extra... whatever percentage Trump has settled on this week, would be absolutely infuriating.
Haha keep dancing for your new master, Bezos. Fuckhead.
You know, I never knew who any of Biden's press secretaries were. They were never spouting insane bullshit, I guess.
Some great timing happened, my Prime membership auto renewal coincided with the inauguration and public display of facism - so I ceased all purchases and didn’t re-up for prime.
I’m doing my part!
Isn't customary in the US to publish the prices before taxes and then ar last moment add all the local and state taxes?
Why anounce this? Just do it.
"free speech"
Never ever take fascists at their word, they're all bullshitting you always.
But these tariff costs are going to be paid by China just like you promised, right Don ? RIGHT ????
