President Donald Trump stopped allowing small shipments to enter the country without paying tariffs. Now, things are getting pricier and shipping costs are going up. www.wired.com/story/de-min...

Thanks to traitor Republicans and feckless Democrats in Congress, Trump and Heritage Foundation have destroyed our democratic republic. I only see 2 ways to correct this: *National Strike. *Civil War.

Australia Post won't send anything to the US for now, except for letters, documents and gifts worth less than $150. It's the same deal for items going to Puerto Rico, which uses the same postal network as the United States. The UK is the same. I feel sorry for small business.

Sounds like a perfect excuse for Bitcoin to shine – decentralized, untaxed, and untouchable.

What makes you believe it's untaxed?

Or they aren’t shipping here.

If the issue was just the tariffs, then there would be a price increase. However, what matters here is all the bureaucracy and complexity that just makes the transactions infeasible. Shippers stop shipping and the tariffs themselves become irrelevant. A 1% tariff is effectively as bad as 100%.

Those are part of why the tariffs are a problem.

I front-loaded all my purchases to beat the tariffs and now my contributions to the economy will grind to a halt. Multiply me by several million people. A lot of small businesses are going to go under thanks to the moron in chief.

Temp has started distributing from the US instead of directly from China.

Thousands upon thousands of companies, large and small as well as entrepreneurs, benefited from the de minimis exemption, with many depending upon it to make a living. So, yeah, let's ruin their businesses.

It’s Trump ending a policy that let small imports avoid tariffs, causing prices to rise and shipping costs to increase for consumers and businesses.

You need to retract that shit-ass Taylor Lorenz article or otherwise address what this woman is saying. www.instagram.com/reel/DN3xSpI...

Or does "dark money" mean "money paid to black people" in the pages of Wired magazine?
