so there i am, trying to do my bit for not shopping at amzn. ordered new gear cassettes for my rebuilt road bike from someone on e-bay. brand new, so likely a store of some sort rather than an individual. but hey, not the evil empire, right?
they arrived today. the ebay seller just added about a 30% markup, ordered it from amzn and had it shipped to me.

Btw.
What I've learned from this #amzn #original:
* we are all connected by #money
* #innovators care for customers
* a #rentseeker does care for himself
* settled #business (at retirement age) manipulates rules to protect against #competition
* "we are smarter than all of us"
(#AI-Episode. The pseudo-quote is one source, I re-used in a book)

Amazon y Apple caen tras detallar sus resultados trimestrales
Amazon #AMZN dio un pronóstico más débil de lo esperado. el minorista en línea más grande del mundo registró un primer trimestre decente, pero dijo que las ganancias operativas en el período actual serían más débiles de lo que Wall Street anticipó.
Por su lado, Apple Inc. #AAPL reportó ventas peores de lo esperado en China y advirtió que los aranceles aumentarán los costos este trimestre
There are very, very few times where I wish I was back at Amazon.
This IS one of them.
You can 110% bet that flipping the weblab AB switch to show tariffs on product price face-outs would have been my mic-drop as a weblab bar raiser.

This surely could be relevant, even though the hyperscalers are saying that this is part of their standard procedure.
After Microsoft, Amazon now also adjusts at least some of its capacity plans for new data centers. Microsoft referred to lower demand than anticipated.
Could this be the beginning of the end of the hype?

Amazon could see up to $10 billion in profits go up in smoke because of Trump tariffs
