Widespread Scheme to Inflate Prices Across the Economy
Capitalism
Shocker! Capitalist company does capitalist things!
Someone recently told me to start checking other sites than Amazon for prices because a lot of times you can find whatever you are looking for cheaper. I’ve been surprised how much this has turned out to be true. Especially with books.
My wife would buy stuff of Tiktok shop and I got annoyed thinking she was over spending on stuff. Went and compared to Amazon and they were all bargains. It’s crazy because Tiktok shop offers free shipping too and almost every product they sell pays out to an affiliate promoting it with some video.
Tiktok isn’t yet worried about making it profitable. The rest of their business can subsidize this for now. Then they’ll turn on the money hose once they’ve acquired customers/people get accustomed to buying things from tiktok.
The majority of stuff on Amazon is just stuff from Temu now
And nothing will happen to amazon
Took so long to get busted.
“Busted” in a way they will continue to do it. Courts are captured, feds will bail them out at one level and or another, after they pay their deductible on their protection plan. State courts are fucked in their own right, and prosecutors are pulling punches anyway, no backup from the party, no air support, as if we didn’t know how to play realpolitik.
Yeah this isn’t “you’re busted for fucking over the little guy,” at best this is “you’re busted for fucking over the little guy without giving us our cut.” They pay a cost of doing business fine and carry on with their bullshit.
