Trump threatens Amazon to not give a breakup of the tariff costs while checking out, and the company backs down. Centrally planned MAGA Maoism in full display. "Free speech absolutists".

I wanna be sure, but I think the implication is that they (Amazon storefronts) will raise costs, it just won't be as transparent as they were thinking of being.

Which is very predictable considering the ways these companies bend the knee at the very notion of Dump retaliation. I guess it's up to democrats to remind folks, and i'd adivse using republican tariffs to describe them and not just Trump.

By that logic, every retailer in America should be including sales taxes on the shelf price instead of tacking it on at the register.

They really should. When you buy things in European countries like Italy and Germany, you never get blindsided by the VAT. It's always included in the tagged price.

I think it would be a good idea if thereтАЩs a public database documenting tariff based price increases.
