Restaurants showing price increase due to min wage increase
Republicans : good people should know
Amazon showing tariff increase
Republicans: HOW DARE YOU!
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.
Correct. They were never going to choose their employees and customers over Trump.
Because they are on the same team.
Costco should implement this right fucking now, and call it the trump tariff tax.
Every mom and pop online retailer, every eBay seller, every Etsy seller should have trump tariff taxes list on their products.
Coders should make easy to implement add-ons for all major online retail POS systems and supply them freely.
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.
Somebody ought to write a browser extension or user script that modifies the Amazon page to call out the price increases due to tariffs. (Even if it can’t necessarily know directly, it could at least pull camelcamelcamel data from before the tariffs started and subtract, or something like that.)
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.
Using a price-tracking site or browser extension should make it obvious.
Just rename it from tariffs cost to freedom tax or some bullshit. “Cost of not filing tax” would go along the bullshit fantasy they’re trying to push.
Evidence: trust me bro
