      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.
