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.

Those that suffer from TDS are so intellectually challenged

You mean the people who defend everything he says true or false and prop him up no matter what he does right or wrong?  Like those talking heads on TV?  I’d agree that’s not normal.

If you're referring to the $33K figure, I got that from Justin Wolfers, one of the best economists working today. Show me a better one.

I am not an economist

 

You can’t turn around an ocean liner on a dime.

For 20/30 years , US budget deficit soared . Completely Un controlled.

China ´s exportation ( US comercial defecit) filled that big financial hole  . Maximising his industrial structures.    Japan and China owns most of the US tresories.

No tariffs will  bring back US  industrial supremacy. And US is way behind using robots on the production ´s chain.

Chinese are also way ahead about batteries , electrification , etc. Chinese products are not junk .  They were able to ´´ land ´´ on the dark side of the moon.
