    The report drew the ire of the White House, which called Amazon’s reported plans a “hostile and political act.”

    “Why didn’t Amazon do this when the Biden administration hiked inflation to the highest level in 40 years?” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt asked.

    I guess showing that the price had increased by 4% isn’t as big of a deal than 35%?

    40 years? I guess thats a pretty big lie, also Bezos likes to eat Donalds ass.

      More like there isn’t an inflation surcharge, because that’s not how inflation works. Inflation is just a bunch of sellers raising their prices in general, not a defined policy.

          No, they started using those limited time coupons instead of changing prices to be less trackable by that site
