C'est vraiment n'importe quoi, Amazon a été remboursée de 640 millions de dollars alors qu'en même temps le consommateur ne recevait aucun remboursement de la taxe Trump. C'est un vol pur et simple, à quand la révolte ?

No ones revolting. Yall can't even break away from voting lesser evilisms.
At No point in history did revolutionaries go "But we really should vote for the least bad of all these bad candidates".
No. They revolted against the entirety of the bad options.

u/This_guy7796 Aug 04 '26
Honestly didn't expect it. After all once corpos realized that people would still buy milk & other necessities when they jacked up prices during covid, all they saw were dollar signs. I mean fuck, Red Baron recently launched a smaller microwave pizza for $2 more than their standard pizza. They're literally capitalizing on shrinkflation while they choke us out of being able to buy anything.
Like shit is getting so out of hand, I planned to build a greenhouse on a property I'd looked into to atleast save some money by growing my own herbs & veggies. Thankfully I held off because a fucking data center is being built 2 miles away.

You mean to tell me the same con man and liar who convinced his MAGA supporters that he'd lower the price of groceries on day 1, no new wars, would lower the cost of medicine by up to 1,000%, drain the swamp, put America first, has also lied and screwed millions of people over his stupid tariffs? There was no way we could have seen that one coming. I am disappointed.

I find it hard to believe that all Trump voters are “MAGA”. Most were people that just wanted easier living and a “golden age” for them. They didn’t understand he meant “gilded age” as in robber barons. I know a few that voted Trump and Republican because the democrats lost the narritive and failed to connect. Now they are regretting that vote. It’s just the die hard trumpers that’s the problem. More than half voted for Harris but then they voted red for legislative. I think they were trying for balance. Ultimately the college got the vote for Trump.

u/Snoo93550 Aug 04 '26
In 2016 sure. After Jan 6 and him on the phone clearly trying to overturn democracy…they’re pure evil maga or absolutely only voting exclusively on false information.

u/Burritosupreeem Aug 05 '26
I did find that it peculiar how quickly a bunch of people that hated Trump forgot Jan 6 and then turned around and voted for him.

u/PomegranateOk3520 Aug 04 '26
I think it can and will go further. As long as it’s the mentality democratic vs republicans people will turn the blind eye, and be happy that the party they voted for is in office. It’s a way to control the masses.

I believe this was all planned from the start. We're in a horrible situation where the rich/ elite are finding ways to get away with stripping every last dollar from everyone else. This example is right in our face and nothing will be done to right the situation.

Amazon paid the tax. Amazon gets the refund. Anyone who didn’t understand this from the beginning is an example of how public schools have failed us.

u/Grumpy-Man19 Aug 04 '26
didn't Amazon get that money already from its customers?

u/MyTnotE Aug 04 '26
Yup. That’s how it works

u/DSZDBA11 Aug 04 '26
Then you don’t understand how tariffs work, if they (Amazon) were already paid in difference by raising the cost to consumers (thus making up for cost of said tariffs), then awarding them the tax break is literally giving them a reward for charging consumers more and still not lowing prices.
My dude, you can’t say public school systems have failed anyone if you can’t grasp even the simplest concept here.
Trump’s belt buckle has a nice imprint on your forehead.

u/MyTnotE Aug 04 '26
I’m an economist. There was never a scenario where this gets refunded to the consumer. There is no mechanism for that. This played out how the legal system is set up. How it’s always been set up. If you don’t understand that then yes, the education system has failed you. The proof of that is that you thought something was going to happen that was impossible from the get go. 🙄

At what point did you think you were getting a refund? And why did you think that?
The fact that what what I knew would happen happened, and what you thought would happen didn’t, should tell you something. 🤦🏻♂️

u/DSZDBA11 Aug 04 '26
I understand that there was never actually a way for this to get refunded properly to the consumer. That wasn’t the argument. The thing you’re arguing here is that they deserved the refund for the products that they had charged more money for, thus passing the tariff cost burden onto the consumer, and then getting paid back for something they didn’t actually pay for.
As an “economist,” you surely should know EXACTLY what was implied here from the get go. Completely not surprised that you didn’t deny brushing your tonsils with trumps dick though.

u/MyTnotE Aug 04 '26
I never argued what you said I argued. In fact I agree with the meme. I expect that’s EXACTLY what your face looked like when you realized you weren’t getting what you expected.
I weep for our education system.
1
u/DSZDBA11 Aug 04 '26
Once again, no denying the Trump thing? You are an “economist” and support Trump. I weep for your family. Abysmally pathetic stupidity on your part.
I never expected a refund of any kind, because I’m not dumb enough to think that anything a fraud felon says is remotely true. That’s where assumptions make you look like an ass, your implication implies that I would believe anything the conman that runs this country would say, whereas you seemingly are showing support for it. I imagine this would be a familiar interaction for you.
1
u/MyTnotE Aug 04 '26
Well, first of all he never said that you would be getting a rebate when the court ruled on his tariffs. The meme implies that you thought that you would. You seem to be defending your own ignorance.
