Aliexpress no longer an option


Anyone try to buy from Aliexpress recently?  I went in to pick up some copper banana connectors, added them to my cart to find out what our new tariffs look like.  $13.00 set of 4 bananas, $1.14 tax, $1.20 shipping and $23.40 customs fee!  That for a $13.00 item.  Trade war has arrived at our door.  Grrrrrrr….

Please reframe from the political debates/opinions I just wanted to inform USA audio shoppers what our China tariff reality is now.

Hate to say it but at root cause, it’s all about Trump’s insecurities that drive him to always seek the one up on everyone no matter what.  It’s a psychological disorder at the root in my humble opinion.  But we elected him regardless so whatever happens its really on us.  Maybe we will learn to actually pay more attention to what people we elect to important positions actually say and do and what consequences to expect accordingly.

Naaaah....too much work!   Attention spans ain't what they used to be.

What puzzles me is why people post political content in an audio forum, especially because it's most likely to be deleted anyway. I understand that some claim to not be posting political content, but that only makes it more of a puzzle.

I don't spend much time pondering that puzzle, though. It's not worth it.
