I still don’t get how the president can just say “100% tariffs on you,” and all anyone can do is say, “Wow, that’s crazy.”

By law he can’t, but the other two branches of government are completely complicit.

“This is a hostile and political action by Amazon,” White House press secretary Katherine Leavitt says of the e-commerce giant’s plan to display how much of an item’s cost is derived from Trump tariffs. She adds it’s not a surprise because “Amazon has partnered with a Chinese propaganda arm.”
I still kind of wish they rolled sales tax into the receipt so people weren’t so reminded about taxes, but you reap what you sow.

It is mildly satisfying to see, but ultimately even more irritating than status quo that these tech bro idiots will personally suffer zero. How fucking stupid are these alleged masters of the universe, there is a 50 year history of Trump fucking over and discarding everyone in his orbit.

Stability in the marketplace is 50,000x more important for business than whatever access these tech bros are getting from Trump, if they had any common sense they’d have backed the mildest eDem they could find and carry on printing money like normal.
The billionaire tech bros aren’t any smarter than your average Joe Rogan fan, they’ve all been duped by idiot bro culture influencers.

It’s especially annoying because Bezos is objectively brilliant. If you go read his early shareholder letters, they’re incredible. There’s just something about being rich that gives these guys brain worms. Probably just insecurity, that seems to be the common thread for Zuck, Bezos, Musk relative to Buffett/Munger types.

Turns out if you give people enough money that they can hunt humans for sport, they tend to develop a taste for the most dangerous game.

Only posting this because this is funny
GREG KELLY (HOST): Donald Trump for president in 2028. Why not? Well, the Constitution says not, but maybe the Constitution is wrong. President Trump has been playing with this, and he’s been playing with it for years. And it’s kind of amusing and it’s kind of serious at the same time.
…
However, it just might be unconstitutional itself. President Trump — it should be looked at. This is a way the deep state keeps the presidency under their thumb. Only two terms.

Why do I regret my vote? because it’s personally affecting me obviously!
I didn’t know they had Susan Collins on the panel!

I think one trap a lot of these people fall into is that knowledge/insights/intelligence that lead to success in one particular area doesn’t necessarily translate to success in other areas.

Bezos is the boss of 1.6 million people. He has had a whole world of people kissing his ass for decades.

It’s because they spend years with literally no one ever telling them “no.” No matter how smart you are, that has to mess up your brain. T

I don’t even understand how this would work. Is it only going to be for Amazon brands? Attempting to do so with third party sellers would be an enormous clusterfuck.

So their argument is that the Constitution is unconstitutional?
