USDA is currently collecting seed packages from recipients and will test their contents and determine if they contain anything that could be of concern to U.S. agriculture or the environment,” the department announced.

Will? The USDA could have tested these things faster than writing this sentence.Do these assholes need committee approval for everything they do?

... seeds purportedly sent from China could be the victims of a fraudulent internet retail scheme known as a “brushing scam”

A brushing scam is an exploit by a vendor used to bolster product ratings and increase visibility online by shipping an inexpensive product to an unwitting receiver and then submitting positive reviews on the recent delivery.

...this scam gives the illusion that the business is credible by finding a person’s name and address online, sending the product to them and writing a review using their name.

“They’re also boosting sales rankings because they’re showing this high volume of product moving from point A to point B and we’ve learned it’s in Arizona, it’s in Ohio, it’s really pretty much all over the country.”

Do you realize that the USPS gave a special rate to Chinese postal companies to be able ship directly from China to the USA?
The rate makes it cheaper to ship directly from China to Ohio than from Indiana to Ohio.
It gives these foreign companies an unfair advantage on small items like you may buy on EBAY.

I once bought a replacement carburetor for my snow blower. They mailed it from China. It took about 3 weeks to get here.

Another interesting fact I saw on 60 Minutes. Most Fentanyl at one point in time was mailed directly from China to the USA via the USPS. Now, They put it in a container. Ship the container to Tacoma or Long Beach or some other port city and then mail it in the USPS in the USA. The USPS does not have the ability to scan for drugs like UPS and FedEx do.

Yup. I do realize that because I have a friend who works for the postal service.

Also I bought a transistor radio online a few years ago and was stunned when it showed up in a plain brown envelope covered with Chinese stamps.

Send them all to Joe Biden’s basement.

Maybe he can get something to grow in there!

Look—the Deputy to the Assistant Director to the Deputy Director needs to talk to the Assistant to the Assistant Deputy Secretary about this.

But—first they have to figure out who the other person is!
