    I saw that video a long time back before the election, you should watch some of his economic explainer videos, they're applicable to other western economies as well.

    Gary Stevenson, a working class genius who became a trader and studied at the London School of Economics and who now speaks out.

    You want someone who's telling you what's really happening then listen to this because almost nobody here has got a clue of why your lives are sh*te after nearly 5 decades of Thatcher and Regan economics and all the variations that they've used as excuses for the f*cking mess they created.

    edit: he's a multi milionaire.

    That link identifies you John.

    It's a link to your tiktok account, not a link to external content, I don't have a tiktok account personally and I'm not letting them encourage me to get one.

    I wonder how Trump and the Mighty MAGA will say about this.

    Will they bend backwards to Putin again and say it's all Ukraine's fault and that they deserve to be bullied and they should just bow down and surrender their lands?

    It doesn't now.

    I review all of my posts many times I would have noticed once John had replied.

    This is not a lot different than the extortion Drumpf has applied to so many legal firms already and the fealty he is demanding from the universities many of whom have already caved, you get to see the true colours of these businesses who cave to the dictator, to the facist, at least a few of them like Harvard are standing up for what is right.

    Humpty Drumpfty is putting the screws into Bezos, first attack with a completely fictional accusation get your press secretary to announce it to the world never mind that it's a lie, hardly anyone will ever hear that it was a complete BS accusation, so when nothing appears on the main Amazon site Humpty Drumpfty can say look at this lying Bezos with his sh*tty Amazon tariff lies, look how strong Humpty Drumpfty is look at how I stopped his lies.

    Not that I'm defending Bezos but this is all about facist control of everything, America the land of the economic slaves where half of them are so dumb they think they are free.

    The problem with this one is that the people are still going to see the gigantic price increases and very soon they are going to have the great experience of the Soviet empty shelves, that'll be an interesting event to watch how will the average American respond to that.

    Bezos has to suck up to Drumpft because of Blue Origin he needs the government contracts.

    IP address reporting on mobiles is not very accurate, it had you in Manchester but I guessed you were probably heading off for your holiday.

    One thing I learnt when driving artics around the UK is the massive size of Amazon with the amount of distribution centres everywhere. It is a huge company around the world, not only in the USA where it is based.

    In South Korea for one Amazon does show the amount of the tariff in the shopping cart for imported goods so their platform certainly does have the capability to currently do this, it is extremely unlikely that they have fully custom software for each country they operate in and it's far more likely that the differences are programatic switches that turn features on and off.

    However what's the big deal with showing the tariff anyway I've bought things on eBay from Japan in the past that arrived via Royal Mail with tariffs clearly detailed and the need to pay the tariff before they will deliver.

    In the South Korea comment I'm quoting a guy named Chris Norlund an economics professor on YouTube, he's good on Trump and the tariffs.
