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.

Trump and his oligarchs are and  will be fine with higher prices.  Especially when they get their big tax cuts and other new big slices of the government pie.  The serfs who think he is one of them?  I have my doubts for many. 
 

Wow, I had to check my web browser as I thought I was on Audiogon not Politicalgon.  

Wahappened?

It’s terrible, the sky has fallen. The end has come. We had a smooth running machine until this past January. Everything was going well with international relations, our streets were safe, and we had a sharp leader at the helm. 
Haha, just kidding. 

Do you want a list  of what we had before 01/20 that now we don't and will not - essential services - and a list of the groups @uncledemp for whom the sky has fallen? Millions of people already and give it a few months, it will be 100s of millions .You may have deep pockets and won't feel the pain, and maybe you have never heard of empathy. The next unemployment report will be brutal.

I was being facetious, I’ll check out the video. 
 

We are fixing it, but it’s like giving a child medicine.
