@Ric_RTP Break up Amazon

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.

@BrianAtlas Asking a woman if she is single is being respectful

“Why don’t men approach anymore?” He did nothing wrong btw. Also, if a man started out his TikTok video saying what she said but about women. He’d be banned off TikTok within 24 hours.

@MereSophistry There will only be online degrees in 10 years and only a few professors.

I mean this very seriously: I think we will see the end of online degrees in the next 10 years.

@ScottforFlorida @VivekGRamaswamy The Swamy needs to move back to India to make it exceptional-MIGA

OH needs @VivekGRamaswamy in the Governor's Office!

@BasedMikeLee You just need the Catholic Church

Pastor: “I’m of the opinion that we need a third testament because the Bible has become problematic.”

@SenJohnKennedy Young people that have no jobs after college don't get tax refunds. Get rid of the OPT and H-1B visas. They will soon be a large enough voting block to kick all Republicans out on their asses.

The One Big Beautiful Bill tax cut is returning money to the American people’s pockets. But don’t take my word for it. Just pick up the phone and ask a random American about their tax refund.

@AMAZlNGNATURE That little bobcat is harmless

What would you do in this situation 😳

@lawyer4SMBs Believe it or not, many people enjoy getting on their riding mower and doing it themselves

I remember a while back I said that if you make over $200k a a year and still mow your own lawn, you're doing it wrong. Now that the average quote I'm getting for my lawn is $400 a month, I think I'm changing my mind on that statement. What are folks running for lawnmowing equipment on a 1 acre mow these days?

I’m Roman Catholic. I don’t care if you’re Orthodox, Protestant, or whatever else. None of that matters right now. Evil attacks us every single day. The last thing we should be doing is fighting each other. We need to stand together. United in Christ.

Karl Marx is the most prolific mass murderer in modern history. Consider his followers: Lenin — 1,000,000 deaths Stalin — 20,000,000 deaths Mao — 45,000,000 deaths Pol Pot — 2,000,000 deaths Castro — 100,000 deaths But people STILL think he's a political genius. w.

FACTS. Don't waste more taxpayer money than already necessary. Chain them up and put them on the next cargo freight ship heading back. Confiscate their property to pay for the ticket. Done.

In 1480, a Turkish army captured the Italian city of Otranto. They gave the people a choice: convert to Islam or die. Eight hundred Christian men refused. They were executed on a hill outside the city.

I love the Catholic Church ♥️

In 1099, the Crusaders recaptured the city of Jerusalem and the Church of the Holy Sepulchre from Islamic control.

@JackPosobiec Expose them all

Saint Michael, defend me in battle. Be my safeguard against the wickedness of the devil.
