Whatever it is It will only come down to costing companies with deep lobby pockets money and how the conservative new agencies are spinning it.
I'd like to see everything priced on the rim and out the door. Taxes, registration, fees, shipping all on the line. I'd like the price on the shelf/invoice/website/advertisement/cash register and bank statement to all match.
I'm gonna call out the way Amazon bills your credit card for multi-item orders on this one. That's some fuckery right there.
What do they do?
They charge your card for seemingly random groups of products so your order is split into strange Unrecognizable transaction amounts, and you can't tell by looking them which order items the charges are for, and if your want to see, it's buried deep in your account settings.
