Lots of companies ordering necessary parts are going to be in deep shit.
But I’m sure this will bring down the price of eggs.
Or lead to eggs that say Made in China.
Wow I’m glad i bought my new computer before the tarrifs and shit started
“Bought”? Please tell me that was a typo. Surely you meant “built”, right?
(People still haven’t learned their lesson about buying pre-builts? Humanity is doomed.)
Lmao and I put Win11 HOME on it with a $150/yr SUBSCRIPTION!!! AND I SET IT TO AUTOPAY
MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
Amazon is basically Temu or AliExpress for people too lazy or too impatient to just get the same shit from the China apps, so they pay a premium to get it shipped to them in an Amazon box. You can find a lot of the same AliExpress or Temu products on Amazon at X2 or X3 the price.
I suspect the reason is:
Close to half of all parcels entering the US under de minimis were sent from China, according to a 2023 report by the US Congressional committee on China.
There was also the thing where you could order items on eBay for $1 and they were shipped from China. I could not understand the economics of that so I did some research and found that a Chinese-American was working with/for the USPS to make that sweetheart deal. Not sure if it’s still a think but I think that started the floodgates of cheap Chinese goods into the US. This article talks about that, not sure if it was ever fixed: https://www.forbes.com/sites/wadeshepard/2017/11/05/how-the-usps-epacket-gives-postal-subsidies-to-chinese-e-commerce-merchants-to-ship-to-the-usa-cheap/
My marshmallow is getting charred y’all
Shit, I’ve got a couple kickstarters I’m waiting on. I hope there’s a third party in there to facilitate eventual delivery.
Did anyone actually read the article? It states the exact opposite of the post title.
They did and then unbanned it a day later, hadn’t updated the post title
You should probably get on that, then.
Wow ok, rude, I don’t see you posting with your 0 posts ass lmao.
You should probably get on that.
Time to buy UPS stock.
The fuck? Where did this come from? I doubt it was Trump, considering he is a fan of China. I can’t think of any reason Elon would block this, if he’s invading the USPS now too.
