It would be a good idea, and earn Jeff Bezos more respect, if he actually did this. Unfortunately Bezos has proven, like we didn’t know, that he’s more interested in kowtowing to 🍊💩. That’s why I shop at Target now instead of Amazon.
And no longer even a pretence that Bezos isn’t still in charge of Amazon. The tech titans build the thing and then step down as CEO, becoming kings from afar with no responsibility or official titles.
Our household refuses to buy anything from #Amazon We have no #AmazonPrime nor will ever.
If everyone dumped their #Prime and no one shopped at #Target & #Wlamart we would NOT have oligarchs running our government!
The utility of showing the impact of source tariffs on prices would have value. A transparent way to assess source pricing. Why is Trump so frightened of the truth?
One would have thought informing customers of all their costs, like sales taxes and tariffs was a very good idea. Of course Trump doesn’t what the public to see his new “tax”. Maybe Congress should make disclosure law.
He realized that the only way to flourish is to kiss the ass of my first-buddy Dingleberry, or donate $500M to the slush funds.
(Sad, I'm not the only brohole now)
One would think being really, really rich would make one so much more willing to take risks and stand up for good values with moral conviction. But one would obviously be wrong.
I haven't shopped at Amazon for years....Bezos seems fine without my money. I have always been fine that others choose Amazon. But, maybe (just maybe), gutting Main Street retail for the benefit of a billionaire that sucks up to Trump is bad.
Fits a pattern. He proved unfit to own WaPo long ago. Is he fit to run Amazon? He had a great idea there, long ago. Another guy tho cast an outsize shadow, and doesn't even try to fill it.
It certainly shows how anyone, regardless if it’s a billionaire or not will drop to their knees and bow for repentance looking for forgiveness so they are kept in good standing before the lord right before the beheading.
Not the first time and likely not the last. Bezos caved when he didn’t let wapo endorse Kamala, Then when be directed the wapo to endorse Pam Bondi. Now again for amazon to not list tariff impact costs. I Cancelled wapo and I’m never shopping amazon in Bezos’ lifetime.
Apparently Trump was furious that Amazon is planning to pass along the tariff costs to customers. Wanna see empty shelves again? Pressure the big importers to avoid charging full cost. They’ll just stop carrying the products.
And yes, he is. Katherine Graham had more testicular fortitude in one of her toenails than Bezos and all of his ilk possess. He's a gigantic pile of formless slop, like most of this digital scum.
I think Burn Book is awesome, but it didn't really change my idea about all of the Silicon Valley oligarchs, in that they are all emotionally crippled boy-men who would cry if you ever punched them in the face. They are, like the Regime they suck off, physical and moral cowards to a person.
I guess you can try to hide real tariff costs to the public. But as prices go up there will be no doubt in their minds just who exactly is responsible.
I think we need to highlight how this move on behalf of the White House shows fear (and weakness). When the American consumer is faced with the simple truth, in $$, they know it will create a backlash. If companies "hide" the costs or assume them, Trump can blame corporations & his lies live on.
Kara, as usual you hit the nail on the head. Bezos is a coward and an interfererence to press freedom. I grocery shopped yesterday and some products had gone up by $3 or more in 2 weeks. The impact of the orange turd's tariffs chaos is only just beginning.
It's not courage he's lacking. We've no idea if he possesses any or not. His values are 180° from yours. He's about money and power. Off-hand, he seems to be operating within those values.
Bezos should fund a non-profit foundation to run the Washington post, modeled on the Wikipedia structure. Then walk away. He's not fit to own & manage WAPO.
I was excited that Amazon was going to disclose tariff amounts. Shameful that they backed down after one phone call which was probably a threat from Trump. I’m still boycotting Amazon and Target and other businesses that didn’t stand up for DEI.
No one is rich enough to not kiss the ring is what I am getting. Even if he lost 4 years of profits he would still be ok and that means nothing because he won’t take the hit. Just folded.
Wonder if Chump refunded the $1 million he extorted from Bozos the first time around? Or does Bozos have to make additional payments in order that Chump won’t target Amazon? Or so he can receive more govt. contracts?
Do you seriously believe that there's going to be another presidential election after 2024? Does today's Trump give you any indication that any future elections - of any sort, and if allowed to go ahead - would be free and fair?
There will be future elections. Will the republicans disenfranchise more people and make it harder? Yes. They always do that. We have to win overwhelmingly.
The good news was seen in Canada. When people see the real trump, they grow to hate him.
I like your positivity. You seem to think that the country is still running according to some sort of legal system and will continue to do so. I'm not holding my breath.
I'm trying to imagine being one of the most wealthy and powerful men in the world and yet still being this much of a sniveling coward. I'd rather be poor but have my integrity.
cancelled my subscription as soon as it was known. stopped watching/recording MSNBC after two headliners went to Mary lot o go visit to kiss the golden butt.
The supposed “elites” are the first to fold. Law firms, businesses, media companies. Seems they have lost all principals and pride, just the pursuit of money. I don’t envy them or respect them.
You can provide transparency to your customers or give in to Trump’s illegitimate demands. How does the White House decide how a private business can communicate with its customers?
Why is it hard? They manufacture nothing, so everything they sell is available elsewhere, until such time as they establish a global monopoly. It’s just convenient. What are you prepared to sacrifice for convenience?
I have bought one bag of chai tea since the inauguration. I’ve been a boycotter for decades. You’re preaching to the choir. I’m also a realist. I see Amazon trucks at many people’s house almost daily. This is America and we’re kind of spoiled 🤷🏻♀️.
Bezos is a sycophant- Probably just Trump massaging his bruised ego and advertising another egomaniacal self- initiated rumor of being a giant killer before he leans on the real target
I still find it odd, Musk sells EVs to liberal America, and then shits on liberal America , liberal America boycotts Tesla. Whole Foods and WP are predominately supported by liberal Americans, Bezos shits on Liberal America, time for a boycott.
Yep it’s amazing that they don’t know their market share is liberal America! People who believe in climate change and equality supported EV’s not MAGA. Now he’s saying liberals are being mean to him! Boo fucking Hoo!
When you buy something on Amazon Mexico that comes from the USA the import tariff is always shown separately. So, this is something Amazon does in other countries and always has. Trump wants to hide increased prices from customers that’s his doing. Regardless, you’re gonna see huge price increases.
Jeff Bezos is an unfit human being. He is unfit as the owner of the Washington Post as well as Amazon. He also is a coward that is anti democracy and anti American. That is why I boycott Amazon.
Kevin O’Leary believes we want to be like him 😂. Bezos buys space ships to give his wealthy friends rides and gladly bends over and takes it in the a&$ from trump. Zuck kisses up too. Being worth billions and selling your soul to DONALD TRUMP? How embarrassing. These guys are insecure little boys.
No patriotic American would subscribe to the Washington Post or visit its website or app. It collaborates with Nazis, and its remaining journalists are wholly compromised. The owner is an open enemy of the Constitution and the American Republic.
Any shot you could get together some investors from your contacts and take it over? I imagine this is a super long shit, but I've heard folks on the Bulwark make a similar wish.
I can tell you that a whole lot of us would love it if you took this on.
He’s failing the people that support him. His customers. You’d think he’d be pissed at the tariffs as they could tank Amazon but guess he likes his tail between his legs.
Wondering if US can come back from this movement away from democratic, liberal "west". Hopefully a Canada/Europe/Pacific pro democracy alliance will survive and thrive.
Titans of technology are terrified to tell the truth to their customers. On the other hand, no one ever lost money underestimating the intelligence of the American public.
Non of these a$$ holes have an ounce of courage. Courage requires suffering. The only suffering these white privileged a$$ holes have experienced is intelligent women seeing them for the weak pricks they are.

THIS IS THE QUESTION: WHAT DID BEZOS THE KKKLOWN JUST GET?
What serious losers!
The avalanche may have already begun, though it will get faster over time. 2026/2028 isn't a reset button. It is a shovel to begin digging out.
The good news was seen in Canada. When people see the real trump, they grow to hate him.
I would've thought that was glaringly obvious when he spiked their endorsement of Kamala Harris.
IF Amazon tagged "tariff increase" on a price they would then NEED lower the price by that amount when tariff relief comes.
No, you DON'T label the tariff increase THEN one never need LOWER the price to the pre-tariff level.
Bezos turns off the light.
Bezos: turn the lights off, we need to save money for... reasons.
#JeffBezos
The steroid popping midget, cares about $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.
Again welcome to reality. Bezos is a jackass, Trump is a sociopath.
A reminder that oligarchs, founders and CEOs cannot be trusted with our democracy.
Nazi enabler.
I can tell you that a whole lot of us would love it if you took this on.
