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.

Have you ever watched the remarkable story of the creation of the earth from the stars, of atmosphere, of plants, animals, and man.  By a fortuitous series of catastrophes we are here.

And we are doing our best to destroy the planet in every way possible.  Ever watch a show showing beautiful unpopulated tropical islands, and then they show plastic and other garbage two feet thick lining the beaches?

The problem is not policicians, democrats or republicans, China, Iran, or the U.S.  The problem is all of us.  Simply, the earth was not made to sustain so many human beings and their waste.  Our advance knowledge of medicine has created a situation where people are living too long, people are having too many children, the earth simply cannot sustain this level of population.

The earth is simply too magnificent a planet to let this go unchecked.  It is creating universal global unrest, everywhere, and to protect itself will eventually result in destruction of half of earth's population, and then equilibrium will be obtained.  Seems pretty obvious to me.
