Boycott Amazon unless they show tariff prices (r.50501.chat)

I’m proposing a complete boycott of Amazon unless they show how much the tariffs are adding to the prices for f products. Let’s force them to show everyone how much Trump’s tariff war is costing the consumers. Trump keeps claiming his regime is the most transparent, let’s force them to be transparent. Starting Saturday, May 3 and only ending when Amazon includes a line item reflecting the added cost to products because of the tariffs. I’m just one person, if one the only one who does this, it will not matter, but if enough people join in, Amazing will listen. Yes I know the diehard MAGA will not join, and it means inconveniences to us, but isn’t this fight worth it? Please give feedback, spread the idea. People who are influencers speak about it.

We haven't been boycotting Amazon this whole time?

Project Nimbus and the absolutely terrible working conditions Amazon practices are already more than enough for me

Continuing this pattern, our employers signed a contract called Project Nimbus to sell dangerous technology to the Israeli military and government. This contract was signed the same week that the Israeli military attacked Palestinians in the Gaza Strip – killing nearly 250 people, including more than 60 children. The technology our companies have contracted to build will make the systematic discrimination and displacement carried out by the Israeli military and government even crueler and deadlier for Palestinians.

Don’t make billionaires richer just on principle?

I don't think you realize how impossible that is. For example it is extremely likely that almost every mastodon or Lemmy instance is running from a rented server inside a massive data center, and those data centers are all owned my massive corporations.

Been boycotting them for 15 years.
