    It was never going to happen because it’s all a show to warn other businesses

        Yup. The cynic in me says this was all a big show to deter any other marketplace from getting the same idea. Trump will threaten you if you talk too loud about tarrifs.

          My inner cynic adds: Amazon also realized if they didn’t separate the tariffs, they could raise the prices higher and make extra profit. As long as it’s “Prime” and “arrives tomorrow” people will still click.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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

      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?
