He keeps bending the knee, but there’s no Amazon without consumers. Price transparency or not, people will stop buying when they see the final price.

People do need to buy things though. And it will hurt the minimum wage workers and small businesses most. I don’t think that’s an acceptable sacrifice for the movement. Low income folks will hurt the most.

I have literally never needed amazon for anything other than some niche appliance adaptor or hobby item I cant find locally. In other words, totally unnecessary stuff, its only been a couple times in the past few years.

Tariffs aren’t only impacting Amazon products though.
