What was stopping you before SM1?

Amazon is funny. Bezos bent the knee. Now he feels the pain!

Teacher - any comment on this “fake story”?

I think the issue Amazon (and others) are starting to have is manufacturers / suppliers are pulling back. Amazon is scrambling to offer discounts to save Prime Day.
Ships aren’t moving. I think we are like 2-4 weeks away from serious shelving problems for brick and mortar retailers. It will be pretty obvious when shelves are bare vs. these e-commerce woes.

“Tell me what exactly won’t be on the shelf otherwise this is fake news!!” 😝

Amazing how all of this could have been avoided. Bezos is only mad that he bent over backwards for Trump only to find out what everyone already knew; Trump doesn’t care about anyone except for himself.

T1, Trump is directly calling Bezos over fake stories....

So he solved a problem that Teach said wasn’t a problem? Interesting.

Teacher - where did you go?
Rising Star
lol. Hopefully they have the “I did that” sticker of Trump pointing at the tariff fee, like cons did with Biden at the gas pump.
You could probably make a chrome extension that does it and get in the news for a day.

I wonder if all the rightwing podcast bros have considered how the tarriffs are going to impact their ad revenues. Those cheap products being advertised aren't made in America.
Chief
Oh ppl are starting to pull back on ads already.

Canary in the coal mine.
Why does the 🥦 care? Other countries pay the tariffs, right my darling chuds?

Teacher … seems pretty clear here that this actually happened.
