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.

🚨| Mysterious Max Verstappen trick has GT world speculating:
— Daniel Juncadella recently sparked intrigue by revealing that Max Verstappen, as a newcomer to GT racing, was employing a technique unfamiliar to seasoned GT specialists. Speaking to media, Juncadella noted:
“Max is doing something that lets him stay unusually close to competitors, even in corners where dirty air is typically a problem.”
— NLS commentator Peter Mackay observed Verstappen's performance and suggested he might have discovered a way to exploit a weak spot in the turbulent slipstream. Mackay remarked:
“Max found a weak spot in the turbulent slipstream, allowing him to drive closer to someone without destroying the front tyres.”
— Despite these observations, the exact nature of Verstappen's method remains elusive. RacingNews365 consulted Jeroen Bleekemolen, a former 24 Hours of Nürburgring winner, for his insights. Bleekemolen commented:
“Of course you can set the car a bit. But still difficult to drive behind someone then. He does have an extreme amount of confidence, which does allow him to set it a little bit without going off.”
— Bleekemolen also speculated on other possible techniques Verstappen might be using, such as left-foot braking to maintain the car's nose position. He explained:
“It could also be that he's braking more with the left foot to keep the nose down. [He could be] operating both pedals at the same time, overlap that is called. But many drivers do that.”
— The GT racing community remains curious about Verstappen's approach, with many agreeing on its effectiveness but unable to pinpoint the exact method. The upcoming 24 Hours of Nürburgring may provide further insights into Verstappen's mysterious technique.

Para los que se preguntan "cómo puede ser que la marca que nos dio el Mercedes-McLaren SLR, uno de los diseños más espectaculares, hoy nos de esta basura"... les comento que el diseñador del SLR, Yoon Il-hoon, hoy lidera el equipo de diseño de Genesis... y se nota 🫠

Mercedes-Benz y BMW ya la cagaron. Ahora sólo falta que la cague Audi... o quizás tenemos suerte y aprenden del error ajeno?

So businesses passed the price increases on to customers and now get to claim refunds for the same price increases they already passed on to customers, which will most likely be paid for by taxpayers, who are of course the same people who already paid those higher prices in the first place, while those same businesses can still minimize what they pay through loopholes in the tax code.
Beautiful.
