i can tell you that is true. not raised by a ton, but def raised. maybe about $4-8 for each thing i bought. my kitchen faucet chose THIS WEEK to die, causing a flood under my kitchen cabinet. the apt maintence came up and shut off the water in my kitchen, and now i have to wait until this world event is over, to have them fix/replace faucet. so, not only am i stuck in here in a tiny studio apt but now, i have no kitchen sink. i had to order paper plates, and plastic silverware, from my usual place to buy things, amazon, to reduce the amount of dishes i have to wash in my little tiny sink in my little tiny bathroom. first world problems, i know. but still....it was not fun to have to pay more for stuff i really needed. at least i am able to pay, i am so sorry for those millions who could not pay the extra "tariff" that amazon is imposing. isn't there a law against this?
