This is not political. Amazon is being transparent so consumers can decide the best way forward with tariffs kicking in. This is Trump creating a controversial distraction from the fact the trade deficit is escalating as a quick pace.
Some estimates are that the start of next school year will see spiral bound notebooks with 100 pages costing $5.00 each.
Consumers have a right to know to plan for the future. It maybe that using credit now for items not normally paid for with credit is actually prudent considering the information Amazon is providing. When the cost of a student notebook normally 5 for $1.00 has the potential to cost 25 times that purchasing on credit makes sense. The American consumer wants and needs this information. Marketing and not politics is the reason behind the transparency at Amazon.
