    Temu, taobao, alibaba all openly show 150% tariffs in their ui.
    Go try checking out.

    Amazon might hide it but it sells all the same products so not gonna deceive many

      I don’t think you understand how stupid the average person is. There is a decent chance this will all be biden inflation in their minds and not tariffs if there isn’t literally a thing that says “tariff charge” on it. Even then they will probably see that and think it’s just there to lie and hurt Trump

        given how much tariffs have permeated the news and people’s bank accounts and retirement accounts I don’t think there’s much avoidance of the topic

          They think this will somehow be a quick trade war that ends in everything being the same price, but suddenly produced domestically. They are still delusional. They are still riding the 2020 inflation wave they call bidenomics.

      What’s hilarious is the tariffs appear in their “Haul” storefront, which is just their version of Temu. It’s pretty new like a few months old and an attempt at stealing business from those other apps.

      So you’re telling me that a online shopper would stumble on Amazon Haul, never ever knowing about the many other discount e-commerce stores, and won’t quickly piece together WHY things are priced that way?
