Are they going to show the cost of tariffs for other countries as well? Or just partisan hackiness?

  Do you really believe that it would change anything if a democrat did this? There's nothing partisan about this, it's Amazon. They like free trade. It's about policy not the party

  Almost all developed countries have free trade agreements with their biggest partners. 100%+ fees added overnight are interesting, no one is writing features to show 0% that hasn't budged in decades.

  In which direction is this partisan? Trump’s proud of the tariffs isn’t he?

  Yes, you can see tariffs and shipping separately on Amazon when buying in different country. At least could a while ago, I havet done that foe a long time.

  In most of the countries that Amazon operate in, for most products, they'll be either 0 or minimal. Developed countries tend to have weighted average tariffs of 1-2%; there are often carve-outs for specific goods for protectionist purposes, but they're rarely on consumer products. Also, I thought these were bigly beautiful tariffs, Trump's proudest achievement; surely he will be pleased to see them displayed so prominently, so that people can marvel at them?

  Since when did free trade become a partisan issue? All respected economists on all sides of the political spectrum agree that tariffs hurt the economy. The current President is the only political actor pushing for tariffs. Reminding people that tariffs are a tax on the consumer is not a partisan issue; it is transparency and plainly economics 101.
