      I would have said “and it’s dignity”, but that is out of stock for a while now…

        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.

    The report drew the ire of the White House, which called Amazon’s reported plans a “hostile and political act.”

    “Why didn’t Amazon do this when the Biden administration hiked inflation to the highest level in 40 years?” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt asked.

    I guess showing that the price had increased by 4% isn’t as big of a deal than 35%?

    40 years? I guess thats a pretty big lie, also Bezos likes to eat Donalds ass.

      More like there isn’t an inflation surcharge, because that’s not how inflation works. Inflation is just a bunch of sellers raising their prices in general, not a defined policy.

    OK, how about cancer instead?

    It would be nice to have some sort of federal consumer protect agency. But cancer, I guess will do. Oh MAGA-D!

    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.
