Amazon is in the business of selling shit. Tariffs will make them sell less stuff. By exposing the component of cost associated with tariffs, Amazon at least informs the customer why business is more expensive lately.

It is "playing politics" the same way listing the effect of taxes on the final cost of something is "playing politics".

This is just useful information for the consumer. It's absolutely absurd to think informing a customer of a cost increase is political.




Amazing how providing facts is now “playing politics”. No one seemed to have a problem with labels when they were slapping Biden stickers on private gas pumps, but I’m sure that is totally different and way more accurate than having provable data and listing it on the cost it incurs.
