@Ric_RTP I can't believe someone posted this no brainer bullshit. Obviously they can't spell monopoly!!!

Amazon just got caught running a secret price manipulation operation with Levi's, Home Depot, Walmart, and many more. Every time you "comparison shopped" online, you were looking at prices that were already rigged. Here's what happened: Amazon would monitor prices on Walmart, Target, Best Buy, Home Depot, and Chewy in real time. The second a competitor listed a product cheaper than Amazon, they'd contact the brand directly and tell them to "fix it." And the exact emails are now PUBLIC. Amazon sent Levi's links to two Walmart listings with the subject line "styles of concern." They basically said the prices on Walmart are too low and we have a problem. The next day, Levi's responded: "I talked to Walmart and they have partnered with us to take Easy Khaki Classic fit back up to ladder SPP price, $29.99 immediately." Levi's literally called Walmart and told them to raise the price. Because Amazon told Levi's to make the call. Walmart complied. Then Amazon matched the HIGHER price. Both retailers ended up charging more. The customer paid extra. Nobody competed. Same playbook with Hanes: Amazon sent them links showing Target and Walmart prices were lower. Hanes confirmed they "reached out to Target and Walmart to have the prices increased." Target increased the prices. Walmart increased the prices. Amazon kept their margins. But it gets even worse... Amazon told Allergan (the company that makes eye drops) that their product was "suppressed" on Amazon because it was cheaper on another site. Allergan responded: "Walmart got their price back up to $16.99." Amazon then unsuppressed the listing. They did this with pet treats on Chewy. Furniture on Home Depot. Products across dozens of categories spanning YEARS. The mechanism is simple but terrifying: If you're a brand and you sell cheaper on Walmart than on Amazon, Amazon suppresses your product, removes you from the Buy Box, buries you in search results, and effectively makes you invisible to 300 million customers. Brands can't afford that. So they call Walmart and Target and say "raise your prices or we'll lose our Amazon listings." Walmart and Target comply because they need the brand's products. Amazon captures 40 cents of every dollar spent online in America. That gives them the leverage to set prices across THE ENTIRE internet. Not just their own platform. So turns out, you were never comparison shopping. You were looking at a coordinated price floor set by Amazon through backroom phone calls between brands and their competitors. "Amazon is working to make your life more unaffordable." 3 separate antitrust trials are now scheduled for 2027. The FTC has its own case. 18 states plus the DOJ are piling on. This is literally happening during the WORST affordability crisis in a generation. Groceries up 25% since 2020. Housing unaffordable. Wages flat. And the largest ecommerce company on Earth has been secretly coordinating with brands to make sure you can't find a cheaper price ANYWHERE. "Competition" in retail is just a fantasy.

@NoVA_Campaigns @SecretService So it's OK for AFO to take off without any diversionary tactics?? Do you have a brain?

Did not know this was a thing… @SecretService shadow Air Force One on the tarmac, and floor out to race down the taxiway parallel to AF1 on takeoff - they don’t let off until wheels up

@Replicant7777 @DangerousThinkg Stop the stupid liberal bullshit!!! Why is Trump EOing the shit out of the horseshit you just posted?

@RedFeather2952 @DangerousThinkg Show me the money spent promoting transexuals. Show me the class that teaches alternative lifestyles. They do not exist. They were simply trying to protect people considered different from harm. LGBTQ don't get any special money or privelege.

What changed this doctor's mind was actually reading it When you read the Affordable Care Act, you realize that it is not affordable nor does it incentivize healthcare It was one of the worst pieces of bait & switch legislation since the bait & switch of Federal income tax She takes 4 min to explain what she finds wrong with it after she has ready it - it was designed not to be read, over 1200 pages of legal speak

@Replicant7777 @DangerousThinkg Bullshit. You doing what the Democrats are doing in VA. Lying their asses off.

@RedFeather2952 @DangerousThinkg You realize all the aggressive gerrymandering in the last 10 years has taken place at GOP behest?

@Replicant7777 @DangerousThinkg Your point? Dems are spending money on promoting trans, porn in school libraries, no borders, SNAP for illegal immigrants, no Kings "protests", no voter ID, gerrymandering on steroids (VA), basically everything anti-Trump. That's their version of representing their constituents?

@RedFeather2952 @DangerousThinkg Facts, the GOP is shifting spending to defense and subsidies, 2 areas they can control who gets money and what they have to do to get it.

@AdamKinzinger Vote yes for Democrat tyranny!!!

If you live in Virginia, tomorrow you have a huge opportunity to make it clear to the GOP that if they want to win, it won’t be by changing the rules and redrawing maps. At least, not without a fight. Vote YES on the redistricting vote, and push back!

@Replicant7777 @DangerousThinkg More make believe bullshit.

@DangerousThinkg Gop purposely gutted the original ACA and made it trash yup, it's called a self fulfilling prophecy. GOP don't want one cent of taxpayer money going anywhere if they cannot take credit for it, or use it to control people.

@aakashgupta No need to articulate this. Mamdani will demonstrate this real time!!

@aapayes Correction: On the left is a Chinese propaganda video. On the right is a video in CA. Both have problems with homelessness.

A la izquierda está China: Un estado comunista que invierte en su gente, ciudades y comunidades. A la derecha USA Un régimen capitalista que invierte en sus oligarcas, guerras y corporaciones. Vean ambos videos y díganos en los comentarios qué sistema beneficia más a la gente

@RepTeresaLF Or really, so now Trump's responsible for Biden's 7+% inflation?

New data shows Trump will cost the average American family $5,000 MORE this year. People are already struggling. We can’t afford Trump or Republicans.

@BarackObama Obama forgot to mention that that this isn't a vote for a representative democracy (5 R, 6 D). It'a vote for Democrat tyranny (1 R, 10 D)!!

Virginia! Today is the last day to vote in the redistricting referendum.  Make sure to vote YES. You can find your polling location at IWillVote.com/VA.

@VigilantFox Buttigieg is obviously psychotic and anyone that believes his sick bullshit is too. Trans and gays have been around forever unless of course you're living under a rock like Buttigieg.

Voter to Pete Buttigieg: “Every day I wake up scared because… I’m waiting for the day that they start banging on doors and taking our trans and our gay friends… to concentration camps.” “I know that there’s nothing you can do about that, but if you could, what would it be?”

@MikeHudema Mike, you first. You must work for the CCP. Why don't you recommend which of their EVs we should buy next time.

In Norway, 79% of new cars sold in 2022 were electric. There are now over 600,000 electric vehicles in the country. We have so many solutions. Time to shelve fossil fuels and plug them in. #ActOnClimate #Climate #energy #transportation #GreenNewDeal

@ChrisMurphyCT Chris, what have you done for your constituency since you've been in office besides making stupid statements like this?

We are spending billions to keep our entire navy in the Strait to fecklessly fail to open a waterway that wasn’t closed until Trump’s pointless war of choice closed it. He’s just burning your tax money.

@RBReich Where did you get this information Robert, a cereal box? The federal corporate tax rate is fixed at 21%, as established by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act less deductions.

Effective 2025 federal tax rates paid by these corporations: Alphabet: 8.01% AT&T: 4.6% Meta: 3.57% General Motors: 3.09% Amazon: 1.37% Exxon Mobil: 1.31% Disney: -1.57% CVS Health: -3.88% Income tax rate paid by the typical American: 14.5% This is what a rigged system looks like.

@SmithZoe22704 Zoe, if this were true, every "news" outlet in the country would be airing it 24/7. BTW, what's it like living on the "donor class" plantation?

Oh really? OK … the world is waiting. Tick, tock ⏰. Are you agree??

@John_F_kJr So what!! Nobody's going to do anything about it.

🚨JUST IN: Twenty CIA and FBI agents have blown the whistle, confirming that Barack Obama and his Chief of Staff, CIA Director John Brennan, created the false Russia hoax, doctored intelligence to overthrow the duly elected president of the United States in 2016. FOLLOW ME, THE NEXT DROP WILL BE SHOCKING.

@PeterDClack Finally a voice of reason on "climate change"!!!

When you look at the spikes on a million-year chart, you see the Milankovitch cycles in action. Most of the last 100,000 years were spent under massive ice sheets. The Holocene (our current interglacial) is the thin sliver of stability that allowed human civilisation to take root. Earth’s wobbles and orbital shifts dictated the pace of these great freezes. Looking at those glacial-interglacial spikes, you see the Quaternary period as a long, cold icehouse punctuated by brief, vital spells of warmth. The current CO₂ fertilisation is a fascinating piece in a planetary puzzle. Its a biological response that often gets lost in broader atmospheric discussion. The NASA and Nature Climate Change data underscore a specific physiological process: photosynthetic efficiency. As atmospheric CO₂ increases, plants take in the carbon they need while keeping their stomata (pores) partially closed. This reduces water loss through transpiration, which is particularly impactful in the arid and marginal lands. Visualise a 25-50% increase in greening sweeping across vegetated lands. This fertilisation effect has undoubtedly played a role in the steady climb of global crop production, a tailwind for food security alongside modern farming techniques. The story of human resilience is strong. We have migrated across land bridges, survived the Younger Dryas, and adapted to radical shifts in local environments for millennia. It’s a compelling good news story.

@native_am_pride Absolute truth?? Try liberal hate, stupid, juvenile critical thinking, and make believe. If this were truth, it would be in your post. You've got to be a bot.

'Absolute Truth!

@daviddunn177 Evan, you're on the "donor class" plantation just like Barack Hussein Obama. Congratulations!!!!

He was easily re-elected. He was never impeached. He was never charged with a crime. He was never convicted of a crime. He never fired his Attorney General. He never started a new war. He won a Nobel Peace Prize. He’s not in the Epstein files.
