I guess Amazon almost did a hostile an political act...

For those people commenting on what Amazon did or did not do... I honestly don't care. I don't care if they were planning to do it, I don't care if they backed down.

What is important to me, is that you have a governement, that comes out to say that informing the public on why certain products increased due to a tax, are labeled "a hostile act". Just think about that. How is it a hostile act, to put the added tax as a seperate item on someones bill?

And for everyone on here that compares this with inflation caused by supply chain issues or companies raising there prices... what are you talking about? None of that money went to the governement. Even the inflation due to supply chain issues, goes directly to the company. It's not a tax, it's a private business setting prices. But a tariff? That doesn't go to the business, that's something you as a customer are paying extra because of a political descision. And neither the governement nor the MAGA-zombie-squad, want you to be informed about that.

They’re not the only ones… The company my girlfriend works for has started putting the exact amount of the tariffs on each in-house invoice.

"This is a hostile and political act by Amazon," White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters Tuesday. "Why didn't Amazon do this when the Biden administration hiked inflation to the highest level in 40 years?"

The reported plan by Amazon came as Trump imposed sweeping tariffs on scores of U.S. trading partners, and 145% tariffs on some products from China in a softened stance on some tech and auto products.

But Amazon said the idea was "never approved" and "is not going to happen."

"Teams discuss ideas all the time," Amazon spokesperson Tim Doyle wrote in a statement.

According to Doyle, the Amazon team that runs its ultra-low cost Amazon Haul store allegedly "considered" the idea of listing import charges on "certain products."

In the press briefing, Leavitt cited and held up a copy of a 2021 report that showed Amazon founder Jeff Bezos which purported ties with a so-called "Chinese propaganda arm" that alleged Amazon complied with a Chinese government order preventing customers from rating President Xi Jinping's government-published book.

Leavitt said it was "another reason why Americans should buy American."

Yes.

He has such a thin skin. Publishing those figures would be a useful service to the consumer and taxpayer. He needs to accept responsibility for his decisions.

Almost never counts. I almost sent you a million dollars. Swear. lol

Show me a company that won't waive that added tax

So showing the sales tax is okay?

Amazon denies having shown you that.
