Really Makes you Think

I want a lib to explain why Amazon shouldn't display exactly how much profit margin the chinese sweatshop owner and the 3 middle dropshippers are adding onto your consoomer slop

They should, they should also list the costs of goods and the profit margin so you can see how much the seller is fucking you over by not absorbing some of the tariff.

You can opt out by buying from different supplier. Taxes are listed because you can't opt out of sales Tax. So government tariffs should be listed because you can't opt out.

This is more about informing consumers so they knew whether they are being ripped off or not

at least it's not a quote from a w*man but this is still sad

Is this the new right-wing mantra? Consumption is bad? Kids with cheap electronics, who grow into adults who are super comfortable with tech in a professional environment, is now bad? Being technologically maladroit, so your employer has to hire on more people to solve every tech problem you encounter in the office, is actually good, because of course it is. Why would corporations want employees who grew up using all manner of hardware and software?

The listed taxes are taxes you are paying. You do not pay the tariff, the importer does. The importer just like every other business tax they pay makes a decision on how much the pass onto the end consumer. Similarly the importer has the ability to pass some of the tariff back onto the exporter via negotiating a lower purchase price. If you weren’t being a well poisoning faggot you would agree with what I said and you should should full transparency of all costs so the consumer can see how much they are being fucked. Sellers passing on the full tariff will lose out.

Why should the left foot move forward when told to by the brain? We are organs of the collective state, and trump is the leader, he is the state, he determines the interest of the collective which we must support.

they can just make up a number then.

And Sellers who don't pass on the full Tariff will go bankrupt.

If they overstate their COG and other inputs you open yourself to competitors seeing opportunity. Anyway it’s all moot bullshit anyway and I’m not genuinely suggesting this more just pointing out what disingenuous fucks these tariffs are fully paid by the consumer cunts are. It will vary but roughly the end split of who wears the tariff will be 40-40-20: 40% export side, 40% import side and 20% consumer. In certain cases where the exporter has no alternate markets of volume they will end up wearing much more of it.

And Sellers who don't pass on the full Tariff will go bankrupt.

Ahh ok, you are retarded and never have run a business before. Thanks, I’ll move on.

it's meaningless. uber started adding a surcharge to cities that imposed a minimum wage on their slaves. they call it a "local tax" or "local law surcharge"
they end up charging a ton more to punish the voting citizens to stand up to the city council and tell them to remove the "living wage" law
the same can be done for any other marketplace. they can just make up whatever charge they want to influence their clients.

Not just consumption is bad, profit is bad too apparently.

Sure Devin, I would like to explain :) :
You see, the owners of amazon are democrats, hence why they dont want the public to know that the item is actually cheaper, because the chinese manufacturer lowered the price to stay competitive

Is this the new right-wing mantra?

Its literally ancient as far as talking points go. All over the internet people have knocked leftists for being unable to live without the latest iProduct since the iPod. But ever since Trump announced tarriffs lefties have been obsessed with justifying why they need glow in the dark anal beads from temu.

You can’t compare services with goods. Importers and exporter chains will all absorb some portion of the tariffs, we know this, they’ve openly said it. An iPhone isn’t just going to go up 145%. The funniest bit is for many companies like Apple, Nike etc they will push the cost across their global consumer base. Europoors will literally be paying the tariffs.

You think importers run a 40% profit margin?

I'm not arguing for or against showing any random fucking number. it's just a random fucking number whatever they want to make up, if they so choose, to influence their clients.
that's all, I don't give a shit what percent the cost goes up. I don't give a shit if it goes up 0%. they can still tack on whatever number they want if they *want* to influence their clients. and amazon would have an insane influence.

Are migatards becoming the most anti-consumer "people" around now?

It’s 40% of the tariff which varies country to country. Taking OPs explicit example of Amazon and the assumption the goods are originating from China than the profit margin is multiples of the tariff impact. Pretty much pick a random good on Amazon than look at the equivalent cost on Temu, basically the majority of the difference is the American consumer being ass fucked by both the exporter and the domestic drop ship scammer/importer.

we are like heckin star trek

Trump followers are the borg

Go back to Redd*t faggot you are clearly beyond reason and you love to get mudkipped

For most things Amazon isn’t the seller, it’s just a marketplace with hundreds or thousands of sellers competing. Take a phone case, every cunt selling it isn’t going to hike up the full tariff, it will be a race to absorb it as well as negotiate cheaper prices from the exporter.

Migatards don't care about the economy the only thing that gets them rock hard is seeing foreigners, brown ppl and trans ppl being attacked. Simple as

only thing that gets them rock hard is seeing foreigners, brown ppl and trans ppl being attacked.

I mean yeah, but I wouldn’t say it was the only thing that gets me hard.

This

A phone case for $12 will probably start selling for $14 and the company making them is going to lower their profit margin to absolve some of the tarriff. Now instead of making $10 on a $2 piece of plastic theyll probably shave it down to $8.

OP is just a paid troll, but it's nice to see people like you actually tell the truth of the matter... biz is fucking ogre

Is this the best argument?

The auto industry should clearly break out the increased cost of tariffs on window stickers. Otherwise when the tariffs go away the new high prices will stick.

whataboutism

bro really using math to try and justify his knee pads purchase
you can just suck his dick openly now it's cool bro

Ebay already shows import fees and I've yet to hear anyone complain about that.

because it exposes the lies and cope they peddle about chynuh paying it somehow instead of the american consoomer
americans are so low iq they will accept anything just because their political sports team said so, and as long as nothing shows up that personally affects them to shatter the delusion like their amazon consoomption here, they will remain mentally infirm cattle

It's the right that actually wants you to own nothing and be happy. Orange Palpatine even said so yesterday. The party that wants to CONSERVE TRADITIONS needs an underclass.

You.

This really made me think too

Then Trump called Jeff Bezos and threatened him and Amazon caved. So sad.

40% export side, 40% import side and 20% consumer

hahaha

No fucking way, it's real!
Yet people will still support his bullshit no matter what. It's a fucking cult

You will own nothing and be happy

And look at how many frothing-at-the-mouth shillposts we all had to wade through just to get to it
With as fast as they're blowing through the last of the USAIDS slush fund its got to almost be over, right?

That's not a response.
Why shouldn't companies post their profit margin?

Consumption is probably the only thing that actually deserves to be taxed, yes.

Pigouvian taxes and land value taxes are better.

40-40-20

I'm sure you built a really sophisticated model or did a lot of empirical research to discover this.

I see no problem with Amazon displaying that information.
