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.

the problem is, it is only political in your eyes and many maga people’s eye. It’s not political. It’s factual. What makes it political is that we have to lie about it.

I am sorry I triggered you. I have intention to argue with you, totally pointless.

You write nothing but word salad gibberish.  Great demonstration of intellect, trotting out the tried and true lefty woke "triggered" label. Of course you don't want to argue because you have nothing to offer but empty accusations.

No, he doesn't want to argue because it would be like teaching a pig to sing. By the way, the opposite of woke is asleep. Is that something to be proud of, in this context? You should take the time to investigate what constitutes an argument. It's not one side stating facts and the other side squawking "FAKE NEWS".

Everyone's retirement funds took a $33K hit 

A meaningless throwaway comment based on a snapshot in time.  Anybody that makes decisions based on Market swings in short term snapshots is a financial illiterate.  When there is a short term upswing will we hear that reported from you as a real new car in your driveway.  I think not.  

Continue the irresponsible spending, fraud, and waste for your children and grandchildren to deal with.  Good plan!
