      It’s difficult, because when you go to shop retail, they don’t have what you need. And Amazon has put all of their online competitors out of business. I was ordering things from Target until they went off the deep end. I wouldn’t touch Walmart with a 10 foot pole.

          Im not super thrilled to pay $40 to $80 in customs just to get a new fucking belt or shoes for work. I urge anyone to buy local rather than international any chance you can.

    Amazon CEO 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. And we have to pay sales tax on Trump’s tariffs taxes.

    Translation: We’d be performing price inceases because we’ve determined the makret would bear it 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.

      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.
