Amazon is Canceling Orders After Tariffs Destroy Profits

  This is the tiniest little blip. Sure Bezos will take note, but they’re just going to jack up prices for the tarrifs. What will become of people who can’t afford all their cheap Chinese junk? If they get to vote in a couple years we MIGHT see some action taken.

  Amazon helping consumers to boycott Amazon.

  This is a very positive thing, at first it will inconvenience users but then they will get used to looking elsewhere.

    Amazon will survive simply due to AWS.

      Yeah, Amazon controls like half of the entire world’s internet by this point. It’s truly an astronomically large number of sites. Between AWS and CloudFlare, it reminds me of the old Bell telephony monopoly BS from the 70’s and 80’s.

    I’ve been trying to order directly from manufacturers or wholesale when possible. It’s been challenging but worth it so far.

    I’d rather people got used to just going without instead. Grab a book, go outside under a tree. Read the book.

    Cancel subscriptions, cancel memberships, cancel reoccuring costs. Buy food, and quality items. Stop buying ‘smart’ shit.

    You need none of this junk. Stop feeding the machine. Make them hurt. We control ALL the power.

      Ironic that you say “grab a book”, when one of the largest booksellers in the world, putting all smaller booksellers out of business, is the thing we’re all railing against. Do you realize how much of a monopoly they have on all corners of the market? It’s not just “smart shit”.

      I’ve been boycotting all amazon subsidiaries and affiliates for over a year now, so I’m not suggesting that we shouldn’t, but that’s easier said than done. This comment is displaying “gee thanks, I’m cured” levels of ignorance.

    Amazon makes more money from it’s web services than it’s “amazon.com” shop.

      Still he’s a greedy billionaire, I don’t think he’s in the habit of saying oh I make more money over there anyway so who cares about the money I’m losing here. They tend to want all the money everywhere all the time. That’s why they’re a disease.

    He had certain assurances…Information that would be wildly lucrative given the stock market rapid changes every time Trump said something stupid on twitter or his publicly traded social media company.

  It’d be nice if it happened. I guess most of their products (also everyone else’s) are probablyade in China.
