      Pretty sure that’s a statue of Grant behind them, pretty sure that at minimum he’d probably regret sparring Lee if exposed to these pissants.

      Also Zuck looks really really lizard like in this photo.

    The Amazon CEO is terrified of angering the Toddler-in-Chief. Tariffs have already drastically raised prices for Americans. Here’s an Amazon example - this tool is 55% more expensive in the US than in Canada. Tariffs are 47.5% so apparently there’s an an additional fee tacked on, perhaps a tariff handling fee?

    Translation: We’d be performing price inceases because we’ve determined the makret would bear it. This would be under the guise of [insert reason here].

    Remember kids, profit maximizing firms don’t set prices according to their costs plus some profit margin. Prices are set to whatever the market would bear where the price * volume yields the highest revenue. When the market can bear very low profit margin, there is a correlation between costs and prices. Amazon isn’t a low margin operation.
