No, and that's why we are ****ed.

We're ****ed because govt over regulated us here.

Attack it conservatively. Deregulate, gut spending and massively cut taxes.

Tariffs are idiotic liberal policy.

This works domestically. It doesn't work internationally.
You can deregulate all you want. If other countries impose tariffs on our goods to protect their domestic markets, it ain't going to help.

I guess one of you legal eagles is going to have to explain to me how this "false advertising" such that it damages a consumer.

---

A false advertising claim can be brought by a customer, a competitor, a supplier, or a federal government agency.

In this case, falsely advertising that a supplier raised their price by X when that was not the actual cause can make you a target for a false advertising claim. If that supplier is also your competitor, then look out. If that supplier goes bankrupt, then double look out.

I just don't see how Amazon can do this on a part by part basis. I'm talking about the non-Amazon branded, non-Amazon purchased/warehoused items. The millions of items where Amazon is just a storefront for other people to sell their stuff.

There's NO WAY Amazon can easily track and note the tariffs on each of those items. Because it would require the seller to advise Amazon what tariffs they paid, and those are changing practically weekly. Not to mention, COO isn't always straightforward either, and I guarantee a lot of these smaller suppliers have no idea how to determine COO on their stuff.

And some companies will choose to spread the total cost of tariffs out evenly over their entire catalog, versus an exact percentage increase on each individual item relative to the tariff of that specific item. If widget A has a 25% tariff but widget B has a 50% tariff, they're just taking the total tariffs paid and adjusting their average standard cost across all items.

And don't forget that Amazon ships internationally, so some items are eligible for drawbacks once they ship back out of the country.

I think Amazon scrapped the idea, for no other reason alone, than because it would be a NIGHTMARE to accurately capture. If I were the department at Amazon that would've been responsible for that, I would've raised seven levels of hell about how impossible that would be.

---

I think that this is the problem. I think someone thought they could just make a swag at it and everything would be all good.

That was a bad assumption.

Agreed. Its BS Amazon will do this now but not before. If you're going to be transparent, be transparent. The result would still be the same if they don't list the tariffs. If the consumer deems the product more than they're willing to pay, they won't purchase it. That consumer can make their own decision about whether the tariffs were the cause of the sudden price increase or not. The average person often isn't that intelligent but they're certainly not stupid.
I would imagine this administration could make things very uncomfortable for Bezos (who's political support changes with the wind).

I'm not saying the fed gov't should do that...I'm just saying they could and obviously this administration has no problem with using the gov't or justice dept to mete out retribution. Of course the Biden admin did it as well. The point I have been making for the past 8 years is that people have just come to accept the low bar politicians and actions that come with the last two administrations.
Funny how some call themselves conservatives and are championing the gov't being heavy handed in everything. Glad we're free from DEI requirements....but we now just have to watch being critical about the current admin or we could lose jobs.

Is that a Biden quote?

Cute.

It could have been a Biden quote. And it was wrong and stupid when he (or whoever was pulling the strings) did it, and it's wrong and stupid now.

The knee-jerk whataboutism is really getting in the way of rational thinking.

Something bad is not made good because "my guy" does it, and it shouldn't be tolerated regardless. It's not a difficult concept to grasp, or at least it shouldn't be.

Plus, it is more than a stretch to say that showing people the actual, tangible impact that policy is directly having in their lives is somehow bad for Trump. If you don't like the consequences maybe you should rethink the policies. Or sell it better to the people rather than simply imposing it from on high.

This. My girlfriend decided to get into sourdough baking and I went to Amazon to buy a Dutch oven. I searched for American made Dutch oven. In the results, were about a dozen Dutch ovens that did not show the country of origin. I had to search outside of Amazon on about half of them.

They were all made in China.

The only American made 7.5 quart lined Dutch oven was 4x the price of all these Chinese manufacturers and I was happy to pay it. I have been buying products outside of China for years. It takes tremendous effort and shouldn't.

Going to Amazon to find made in the USA is like going to the Sahara desert to look for water.

…Who would have guessed that a trade war would end poorly for a consumer based economy like the United States… I brought this up when Trump was campaigning and so gleefully excited about tariff sh** but everyone on this board blew me off like I was a loony "socialist" who "has TDS."

I give up. Some of yall need to be more critical of this admin. It's okay… You are still a f***ing American.

You could easily argue that tariffs are more conservative than income tax given our nation's financial history.

You're not going to "just jerk 2.7T out of the economy", it won't/can't happen that fast. So, since that is true, the rest of the "problem" you pose disappears. But a constant bettering of the economy , basically the reverse of Tarpy Trump's last year and all 4yrs of President HousePlant, will garner positive results.

You really can't blame Amazon for that. When there are 100 China products for every 1 US product being sold what you see is just a reflection of reality. That's not Amazon being selective - that's simply China making more different goods than we do in US. Of course, a lot of those Chinese products are clones/copies of each other (or copies of US products) under different names...but still the point stands.

No. It's very different. The dems are pieces of ***** I won't list the 10 reasons. They are. Period. Schumer. Pelosi, the squad, Jeffries. Pieces of *****

We absolutely need to pressure them to open markets to us, especially since many of these same countries export to us with no restrictions.

I'm not against Amazon's move here. It's their business to do what they want. But they will face the political consequences of their actions. That's business.

These things can both be true. Yes we are absolutely impacting ourselves, but its also hard for multinational companies to compete, when there are tariffs against American goods.

One way companies mitigate against this is to move production overseas.

Both these things absolutely need to change.

Because they are doing it for one political party and not the other. Its perfectly legal for them to do it, but it is also perfectly legal and expected that the current holder of the Executive can make procurement changes in response.

The Executive is not required to procure services from a company supporting the party(ies) not in power. If you think this supposed proposal from Amazon is anything other than a political statement, then I have an Amazon Marketplace listing for oceanfront property in Midland, sans tariff.

If we're cutting something like $200B in waste, or whatever the most current stats from DOGE are, per year. It'll take 12 yrs at that rate just on that alone. But, if we actually do this using the tools conservatism gives us, we could cut more and cut down the timeframe.

It won't/can't happen overnight, even if that's what was wanted. The govt is too large of a bloated machine.

4 yrs of Trump, if he actually started attacking this intelligently and giving up his Dem roots, and 8 of a Vance or Desantis admin, and I think we can fix a lot of what's broken.

Congress will help themselves. Rarely do they give a rats ass about us. If something will benefit them, they'll "help".

So consumers pay tariffs, not the shipping countries now, as Trump has said repeatedly

The shipping countries can either pay the tariff and eat it or try and pass it on to the consumer.

The consumer can continue to purchase the now tariffed product or seek an alternate supplier or stop consuming.

Both of the above are a benefit to the American economy.
