White House calls Amazon ‘hostile’ for reportedly planning to list tariff costs
White House calls Amazon ‘hostile’ for reportedly planning to list tariff costs
Amazon .com denied a report on Tuesday that it planned to disclose the cost that U.S. tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump were adding to its products, after the White House blasted the initial story.
Bezos is a sniveling coward.
Maybe this will show him that you can't buy Trumps loyalty because he has no loyalty. However, I have my doubts that even Trump going from going from "My good buddy Bezos" to "Amazon is the enemy" in the course of a day will be enough of a object lesson for Bozos.
He's already backtracking.
I know, but but even so the whiplash move from "best buddy" to "enemies list" (and probably back again after this capitulation) should tell anyone who wants to ally with Trump what a futile of a move that is. It doesn't matter how much you schmooze him, how give him, or how much he owes you; the moment you're not useful to him Trump will throw you under the bus.
The dude looks like he keeps a half billion in cash on him at all times to try and buy his way out of the angry mob(s) that will eventually come for him... Because he's that much of a doucher.
What's really insane is that even with all his money, the best he can do for a wife is some kind of plastic surgery experiment that looks like it came out of the Tool Prison Sex music video.
Just so afraid of losing a small amount of the fortune he can't spend in his lifetime, that he's given up the true power that comes with that type of wealth. The power to help
Hey, talk for yourself, there are a lot of us who would love to be married to anything from a Tool video, and we don't like being insulted
Mostly MJK, thank you very much
You see Jeff, once you start groveling to the autocrat you are not allowed to stop.
It is always a temptation to an armed and agile nation
To call upon a neighbour and to say:–
"We invaded you last night–we are quite prepared to fight,
Unless you pay us cash to go away."
And that is called asking for Dane-geld,
And the people who ask it explain
That you've only to pay 'em the Dane-geld
And then you'll get rid of the Dane!
It is always a temptation for a rich and lazy nation,
To puff and look important and to say:–
"Though we know we should defeat you,
we have not the time to meet you.
We will therefore pay you cash to go away."
And that is called paying the Dane-geld;
But we've proved it again and again,
That if once you have paid him the Dane-geld
You never get rid of the Dane.
It is wrong to put temptation in the path of any nation,
For fear they should succumb and go astray;
So when you are requested to pay up or be molested,
You will find it better policy to say:–
"We never pay any-one Dane-geld,
No matter how trifling the cost;
For the end of that game is oppression and shame,
And the nation that plays it is lost!"
Rudyard Kipling
"but all I wanted was an even more negative tax rate and to be able to fire workers for getting hurt on the job! I didn't want the dictator to threaten me with the window treatment"
Seemingly because their stock price started to fall due to the Trump admin's reaction. Which, what? Why would that negatively impact their stock?
Fucking pussy.
