HOW DARE YOU
Yes, keep making enemies of the billionaires that got this administration into office and spent millions of dollars to do so. I'd very much love that for you.
Good thing this isn't a country that came about because a bunch of rich white dudes got tired of being taxed and started a revolution.
That's possibly reframing "no taxation without representation" a bit but I don't entirely disagree with the sentiment.
Insane that the rich hate taxes so much, that they're willing to put literal narcissist criminal idiots in charge thinking "I can definitely control and predict this guy's behavior and surely that will be good for my business rather than just not having a 37th yacht and paying taxes and making the world an objectively better place not only for the other 7 billion inhabitants but probably more stable for my own interests as well."
If we weren't all being tossed into the furnace with them, it would be something I'd never stop laughing at.
That's the crazy part, unless they're "outlawed" billionaires should try and improve people's lives since it means they would have more money to spend on the crap those billionaires are selling! It's hard to sell stuff on Amazon if everyone is struggling to afford housing and food.
UPS just laid off 20K workers on the expectation that Amazon deliveries will be way down.
Container ships are down 60%. More than any month during the pandemic.
Trump is imploding the entire economy.
The billionaires have thus far been too cheap to amass private armies to directly enforce their own will. Why, when you can lobby Congress for the price of a used Hyundai Sonata to get the Army to do what you want?
The government holds the power of violence and Trump holds the power of the government. The billionaires will be reminded of that if they get out of line. Coincidentally, this is the arrangement of modern Russia.
Anybody want to bet Bazos backs down?
Annnnnd he did. You called it.
Pathetic boot licker bezos
What a little fucking bitch baby.
At least Jeff Bezos is very philanthropic - shows his emotional intelligence
Oops sorry he’s not at all, meaning this was an incredibly hostile comment. Sorry for exposing low EQ, pls call me after Fox Morning Show mister pres & I’ll retract like a very strong smart man
lol so many dollars and so little anything else, how can someone show their face in public being so small
Of course he will. He wants to keep the profits from The Cult. A boycott would hit his profits.
He backed down before Trump even yelled at him, this was never going to actually happen.
Why do think he would?
Bezos only cares about profit, and status.
Why would he antagonize 1/3 of the population over stupid politics?
According to the article they already did
Trump: “We’re increasing foreign prices because we want consumers to prefer buying American.”
Retailers: “These foreign goods are more expensive than American-made ones.”
Trump: “How dare you tell them that!”
Tronald Dump only wants one thing, unquestioning loyalty. Thinking for yourself is treason
These snowflakes are offended by their shadow being black. Bunch of fucking idiots.
That’ll get the people grumbling.
Walmart should also do this.
Grocery stores too.
Thoughts on how to make this happen:
Whenever a shopowner is already critical of Trump, call them and suggest it directly.
Ask your local cashiers and other store clerks how come the prices rose, and whether that really is all tariffs. Again and again. And ideally so that other shoppers overhear it.
Make angry social media posts explicitly asking the same, explicitly tagging your local store and/or the chain to which they belong, and muse about looking into their competitors.
Yeah, no shit it's hostile. This Administration is being hostile to their business! What in the fuck did they expect to happen?
would be a great add-on for firefox, though
1000%
Same immediate reaction
How dare you try to hide that shit, drumpf you cancerous toad! If Amazon has any balls, which it doesn't and has proved so, it would not back down. I wanna know why my shit is more expensive and I wanna be able to point my fucking finger.
Cool! Send Bezos to El Salvador.
Yeah more people need to be hostile to this jackoff
Amazon .com denied a report on Tuesday that it planned to disclose the cost that U.S. tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump were adding to its products, after the White House blasted the initial story.
I want to punch that bitch in the face every time I see a pic of her.
I mean, I thought Jeff was being charitable during the inauguration.
"How dare you offer clarity about what we've done!"
