Amazon says displaying tariff cost 'not going to happen' after White House blowback
Amazon says displaying tariff cost 'not going to happen' after White House blowback
Welp, one thing you can't find for sale on Amazon is balls.
I would have said "and it's dignity", but that is out of stock for a while now...
Only if you want them shrivelled.
That's because those balls are balls deep up Donnie's ass.
The report drew the ire of the White House, which called Amazon’s reported plans a “hostile and political act.”
“Why didn’t Amazon do this when the Biden administration hiked inflation to the highest level in 40 years?” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt asked.
I guess showing that the price had increased by 4% isn't as big of a deal than 35%?
40 years? I guess thats a pretty big lie, also Bezos likes to eat Donalds ass.
Just because Amazon doesn't do it, doesn't mean other small business shouldn't.
If you have costs and customers are getting angry. Simply put the tariff charge on the receipt and point to it. Amazon can eat the tariff costs, just pay the C-Suite less for 4 years. They won't, but they can. Small businesses can't do that shit.
Amazon gets their balls from Temu
Amazon can eat the tariff costs
There is no way they can eat a 135% (or whatever the lunacy dial is at) price increase. Nobody can and those items just won't get sold now.
So you all like your protests.
Wouldn't this be a great time to stage massive boycotts and protests to force Amazon to do this. This is seriously something that would really be a strategic win that you can accomplish with your protest powers. Like why does no one ever organize this stuff. What's scarier to Amazon then having people fucking abandon it enough to impact share prices. This is your wheel house you fucks. You have the chance to do something really funny.
An update on this. I'm seeing Walmart get caught up in this. I'm seeing people asking other stores to do the same. I think people want this enough it can become a huge headache for them.
Do you (or anyone who might know the actual numbers) think this would do anything? The people in the US would boycott Amazon by not shopping on it, cancelling Prime etc. but that’s not really where Amazon as a company makes their money.
AWS is Amazon’s primary revenue generator now as I understand it and the retail portion of the business is more akin to a side gig in terms of numbers. Anybody with a better grasp wanna chime in?
Profit. Aws is profitable. Products make most of their revenue, it's just that selling junk for cheap is low margin so it's low profit. But their costs mostly stay the same whether they sell junk or not, so it does matter whether they sell a lot or not.
I did turn off my Amazon renewal for next month, I don't really care if it makes a difference in their bottom line, but my money doesn't support this shit if I can help it.
Nice, now I'm not joking but keep telling others about it. Let them know to tell others. Keep it up until they are forced to make a choice
It was never going to happen because it’s all a show to warn other businesses
STOP USING AMAZON.
Pussies
Stop using Amazon.
10-4 Stopped using Amazon.
LOL, just another reason to avoid buying from Amazon, really.
And again the white house shoots themselves in the foot.
They could have spun this as a transparent way for Americans to see what products they are purchasing from overseas versus American. It would have still been filled with lies, but they could have made it sound like a good thing. Instead they just look like idiots and Amazon leadership just look like cowards. Amazon is large enough and ingrained in the economy and everyday lives of people to tell the Trump admin to go fuck themselves on this and have the back of Congress and the public, especially if they spun it right.

The billionaires are in a cartel with Trump and Musk at the helm.
Someone smarter and more ambitious than me needs to make a browser extension that does it. Finding where items are sourced from on the fly might be tough, but it would be cool if it existed.
You can't because while there is a correlation it's not 1:1. Ultimately the costs get passed on to the consumer but there will be lots of adjustments. Unless you're buying a product and it comes straight from China individually it won't be just one number.
Bezos is trumping…”we’re gonna display tariff prices per article”…*swiflty back pedaling on its own decision. 😂😂😂
🐓 💩
Cowards.
They could at least offer it as an opt in feature. I want to know where my money if going.
Your money is going to the Trump Trust Fund.
Blowback? It was a rebuke, like a religious leader would do.
OK, how about cancer instead?
It would be nice to have some sort of federal consumer protect agency. But cancer, I guess will do. Oh MAGA-D!
Pussies.
Keep supporting amazon. That will really help muricans out! Buy the ticket, take the ride!
