Correct. They were never going to choose their employees and customers over Trump.
This administration could have gotten away with 10-20% here and there, but straight 3 digit tariffs on China products is going to feel like a slap on the face to a lot of people
It actually is a classic fascist thing: it makes the target, Amazon in this case, culpable in maintaining the lie, which opens the door to bigger lies down the road.
Or could it actually be that Bezos is pissed at Trump and is sticking it to him to make him look bad?
Sometimes, things are actually as they seem. Straight paths are straight.
Bezos has one goal: self enrichment.
If Trump’s in the way, he’s going to be pretty about it.
Honestly as big of a piece of shit as bezos is, he’s ten times better then musk.
Musk has multiple goals:- self enrichment.
- create a fascist state.
- do as much irreparable damage as possible
Don’t forget 4. Satisfy his creepy breeding fetish by having as many kids as possible
I also like to make claims without presenting any credible sources to support them. We’re getting as feverish, isolated, and conspiracy-minded as /r/thedonald was. Don’t let them make you blind to actual, credible horrible stuff that is happening and drivel like this, because it will give you outrage fatigue and have you distrust literally everything that doesn’t agree with your preconceived (and increasingly extremist) opinions.
They should called it “Trump Tariffs Tax”
Restaurants showing price increase due to min wage increase
Republicans : good people should know
Amazon showing tariff increase
Republicans: HOW DARE YOU!
For awhile my former employer put “obamacare cost increase” on my paycheck.
Please explain? I no understand?
A false story is pushed that Amazon will reveal tariff pricing. The government pushes back hard and threatens Amazon. Amazon backs down.
The truth is Amazon never planned on revealing anything at all. They are playing a role to help this asshole administration. This process serves as a warning to any other businesses that talk about revealing anything to do with tariff price increases and stifling the discussion.
This keeps a large block of the populace in the dark about the matter.
Why would the tRump regime try and pretend to be subtle about this? they have had no problem saying much more heinous and illegal things.
It’s not necessarily just about subtlety, it’s forced compliance in advance.
If you saw a business doing this, it doesn’t just send the message that the rise in prices is Trump’s fault, but that the business is calling them out on it and is not getting punished for it.
This is the new bully beating up the biggest kid to establish dominance.
Temu did it. For some reason the narrative that Amazon was doing it spread rapidly in US news with absolutely no source attributed. Someone was pushing that narrative.
OP touched in the head
