Will be interesting to see how the flow of medications dries up to the US.

How might this affect blood pressure meds?

I sent a Cincinnati Bengals onesie to a buddy in Sweden that just had a baby.

The onesie was $68 or so with tax.

The package was marked “gift” on the paperwork with description.

Sweden charged him 350SEK, roughly $35 tariff to pick it up.

This was in February, before Trump started the tariff news event.

You stop being a lackey fool, and your friends stop liking you.

This will put the blocks to the enormous “gray market”, where products that are expensive in the US are made in other countries for sale at much lower prices, then shipped to the US.

Because they are licensed, they are not illegal. A good example are Criterion DVDs and BRs. They retail in the US for high prices, but when (licensed) manufactured in South East Asia, they sell for much lower prices for the local market.

So people there will buy them up, and sell them on sites like eBay. At perhaps a third of US retail. They took advantage of the “de minimis” customs and postage to ship to the US cheaply.

Fentanyl was coming in this way, too.

Please call me Marty.

I run the ArmstrongEconomics scam site.

The worth of my advice can be measured by my three bankruptcies and losing over $700,000,000 of my clients' funds in bad trades.

That failed ponzi scheme got me eleven years in the federal pen.

signed, Martin Armstrong

The headline says “suspends postal service”, the article says “parcels”.

Is all postal service ended for now? Or only packages? Wonder where they draw the line?
