and it is not enough. They must bow down to whoever they think can help them get more for themselves.

I quit amazon prime this morning.

Used to buy everything there.

We are going down a road where eventually Trump will own everything, and the rest of us will own nothing. They know that Trump can destroy their company with a tweet. There are no laws anymore, just decrees.

You know the one where the father is arguing with his two year old. I find it so absurd. But maybe it is unintentionally
speaking a certain truth. In upcoming airings I will simple insert the man on the bench as a facsimile of Bezos and it
will suddenly make sense.

He is lying. They must have already written the code and got their systems ready to launch this feature.

There can be lots of different rules about calculating and displaying taxes based on a language/country/market and they could adapt it for this purpose.

In any case, probably a minor amount of development relative to Amazon's regular workflow.

Of course Bezos folded. We saw that coming, didn't we? But Amazon posts state sales taxes on an item separately; so why not tariffs, which are also sales taxes?

And he did it even quicker than I thought. As far as the reporting goes, his statement said something about the tariffs being added only to some segment of his warehouse. Didn't get the details completely, but to be honest, I don't believe whatever PR backtracking he's doing now anyway. The point is, he folded.

A national sales tax. The largest tax increase ever! (Don’t care if it isn’t the largest ever, let the M$M prove otherwise).

The Republicans are trying to cover Trump’s tax increase with a fig leaf.

that would not surprise anyone.

Bezos has a spine of overcooked spaghetti.

Whether they spell it out or not.

What they’re paying for a lot of that imported junk. Say they pay $2 each for a Chinese toaster when ordering 100,000 units which they then sell on Amazon for $19.99. So a 145% tariff would add $2.90 to the $2 price Amazon pays. So say Amazon raises their price to $22.99 to cover that tariff.

Do they really want people to realize they’re charging consumers 10x their cost for this cheap stuff?

supports the regime that claimed to be about "transparency" so he should be committed to showing the effects of KRASNOV's policies on prices.

a little while ago and saw some things with the amount the tariffs added to a product. One thing I looked at the tariff added 8 cents, another added 18 cents. What I looked at was makeup remover wipes.

Trump could destroy their businesses as well as potentially even go after them with his partisan justice department.

That is all.

the winds are shifting, the people are rising, and it isn't going to stop.

marshall law? all the more reason to hit the streets.
I'm prepared for it all. If they start shooting their own citizens I only hope I'm on the front line. I'm old, I've lived, and i cannot live with seeing upcoming generations forced to live in an authoritarian dystopia.

Marital law relates to marriage.

I need this information to make buying decisions. Temu has them no?

One day you'll end up wondering where all your assets disappeared to.

Depth perception.

I don't know why Bezos backed down, he's much more powerful than the orange menace, but that doesn't make it right.

Move here from a place where ALL shopping beyond groceries had to be done online. Now, this place is becoming a 'retail desert' so some items I need must be purchased online.

But Bezos just put the last straw on my camel's back.

Nearly every item I buy goes towards that “free shipping” pot and I wait till it’s full. Amazon keeps reminding me that over the past year I have spent $15 for shipping and why not sign up for Prime so my shipping will be free. Except Prime would be what? Almost $200 over that same 12 months? Pfft.

I’m really sorry you are in a retail desert — what a pain. Have you ever been to Costco at some point? You might check their online catalog to see what’s there and if it fits your needs, because they also deliver to card-holding customers. Just a thought.

Now it's an hour and a half each way, risky during monsoon season, and means death defying traffic. I order what I can get from COSTCO online, but much of what I need they won't ship anymore.

You must really love where you live.

An old high school classmate of mine ended up in Washington state at the end of all creation — for a brief time my alumni group had a listserve, and when she passed away a group traveled out to her memorial. IIRC, at the end of the freeway they took a highway, at the end of the highway they got on a boat to proceed more hours by river and ultimately docked where visitors only went in summer with only a few year-round residents … The photos posted on the listserve were absolutely glorious.

Facts conflict with his lies.

I was surprised when I read he was going to show the tariffs, cuz we knew felon45 would not like it! I actually thought he was willing to go against chump on this...

What a weasel.

Not.

Just like receipts with itemized sales tax, nutritional labels on food, epa safety sheets, alocohol content in booze, etc... Not that it would go anywhere with this congress/president but get the focus out there.

Telling a private business what to do? I thought only those mean big government socialist demoncrats diiiiiid thaaaaat!

I can see my state (CA) doing that.
