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.

DT is the worst thing that has happened to America and democracy in my lifetime. I have eyes, ears and a mind to witness it. But what is far worse is the psychological operation campaign he has waged on the MAGA crowd. They have enabled him and as an effect of this..the demise of a great nation. It’s only a matter of time before America becomes a full blown oligarchy. His followers can’t see it.

During the next 4 years, there will be a major realignment of trading partners via various trade agreements.  New suppliers will be found to replace the U.S.   After substantial investment in infrastructure such as ports, trucking terminals, warehousing, etc.; former U.S. trading partners will not simply crawl back because there’s a new POTUS.  That isn’t going to happen.  They won’t trust the U.S. anymore as a good faith partner.

In the meantime, tens of thousands of jobs at U.S. ports, U.S. terminals, U.S. warehousing will vanish.  

Ray Dalio, founder of Bridgewater Associates, the largest hedgefund in the U.S. says that there is danger ahead.

Maybe we have entered The Twilight Zone and there is a cornfield out there somewhere with our name on it.

You start with a ridiculous accusation of 100's of lies told daily, then want to argue.  Argue, not discuss is your desire. You can't possibly make that kind of accusation unless you are at the man's side 24/7.  There is no place to go with your disconnect from reality.
