Welp, one thing you can’t find for sale on Amazon is balls.
Amazon is playing a role here for the administration. They were never going to do this.
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.
I would have said “and it’s dignity”, but that is out of stock for a while now…
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.
An update on this. I’m seeing Walmart get caught up in this. I’m seeing people asking other stores to do the same. I think people want this enough it can become a huge headache for them.
I did turn off my Amazon renewal for next month, I don’t really care if it makes a difference in their bottom line, but my money doesn’t support this shit if I can help it.
Nice, now I’m not joking but keep telling others about it. Let them know to tell others. Keep it up until they are forced to make a choice
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.
Amazon can eat the tariff costs
There is no way they can eat a 135% (or whatever the lunacy dial is at) price increase. Nobody can and those items just won’t get sold now.
Stop using Amazon.
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.
Blowback? It was a rebuke, like a religious leader would do.
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.
🐓 💩
Pussies.
