+ proposed $3 tax for every package ordered :) ..because you can't buy anything "non essential" locally, because everything is closed... https://abc7ny.com/pac

  Not that this helps costs in NY but really how many packages would you need to order in a year for this to make a significant dent in your budget?

    That adds 30% of the costs to a pack of cheap socks from amazon. That's a lot.

    would have increased the price I paid at amazon by 10% last year. So that's not a significant dent but on the other hand that's obscene.

      An average customer at Amazon apparently buys $600 worth of goods from them in a year so if they got 20 packages then yes this would be a 10% increase. However I for example probably get 2 packages from them a month and a $6 monthly increase hardly seems important, if I leave a light on in my house for too long the increase in my electricity bill probably eclipses that. Depends on point of view I guess.
