I don't know who needs to hear this, but EVERY FUCKING RETAILER needs to show the tariffs next to the price -- not just Amazon.

Walmart, Target, ALL OF THEM. It's a fucking tax, why shouldn't we see it?

I want to know exactly how much trump's tariffs are jacking my prices up. DON'T YOU?

Also, someone else has pointed out that if they don’t be up front about the tariffs cost, there’s nothing to stop them leaving the prices high if/when the tariffs are lifted.

They'll probably end up doing it if the alternative is that the public simply thinks the US companies are just greedy. They end up having to show the public the impact of the tariffs, or take the blame themselves.

That said it's a massive opportunity for all companies to make additional profit, so, who knows 🤷🏻‍♂️

Exactly......sadly Duncan, people seem petrified of the consequences.

I want reporters to ask: "Why don't you want consumers to know the impact of the tariffs on their purchases?"

Makes one wonder what the threat he leveled at Bezos was.

Or was it more a carrot than stick?

If I was a US retailer I wld WANT my customers to understand why my prices have increased.

Just call it a Freedom Discount of -75%

But do you want it more than you fear an unrestrained executive retaliating against you?

skirmishmonkey.bsky.social•59 days ago

And that's why Bezos caved after getting a call from Trump along the lines of, "nice website you got there, it'd be a shame if anything happened to it".

The problem is, I don’t negotiate with terrorists.

ATM Trump is a terrorist, and nobody shld be entertaining his low-IQ nonsense.

hughp1970.bsky.social•59 days ago

I'm surprised Trump is so against this. From his point of view this would make it easier for his cult members to "buy American" by avoiding high tariff goods.
Oh that's right - America doesn't make enough of the stuff people want to buy.

If they do that, then they can’t leave the prices up when the tariffs go away.

jimbo-solar.bsky.social•59 days ago

Exactly.

This is the main thing. Like how groceries went up during covid price gouging and never went down.

Seems better than having customers pissed at prices going up. At least they can see a reason.
