This is going to last lesson a couple of weeks. Trump is not stupid he’ll figure out a way to let China meet with him to save face. It’s more of a Japanese thing, I know, but it’s still matters to them. And Trump really doesn’t care he just wants trade Wars to end.

For many, many moons, we have tried to avoid Chinese garbage. This will just make it easier.

Ah, the "death of a thousand cuts" approach to the poker game of trade. Indeed, this could be the sting that brings China to the table.

The article uses the scenario of a visiting tourist wanting to ship a trinket as the reason for the dollar floor for tariffs. China has been abusing this.

I bought something from China for about twenty bucks delivered. To send it back was $150. It was the wrong item. I took the loss.

Yeah, I think it was something Clinton did. They were shipping for free. Nice deal if you can...somehow...get it.

Got until May 1st? Already got my little cheap phone accessories from AliExpress that will last a bit but want to get a 16-bit SDR. All stuff I just can’t get here. That will be it for them for a while I guess.

I purchased a small part for a camera from China a few years ago. It cost about $2 delivered!

I wondered, how can China ship so cheaply? It became apparent the US government was highly subsidizing Chinese businesses.

This will not go well for LC Signs and our homey Tony the salesman on YouTube.

Well, that may explain it.

I ordered a small amateur radio part, under $20, in the first two weeks of March. It shipped, expected delivery about March 29th.

It made it to the local mail distribution center, but has been hung up for the last ten days. USPS keeps extending the delivery time. No sure if it will ever show up if there’s a 125% tariff.

I’ve seen some great deals on Amazon too, a robotic vacuum for $80, marked down from $200. My guess is they want to get rid of inventory on hand.
