Trump suspends trade loophole for cheap online retailers globally (arstechnica.com)

I don't really care about the cheap imports. Most of it is killing us anyway. I don't see this as a bad thing.

From the post:

>E-commerce giants everywhere felt the sting Wednesday when President Donald Trump announced that the US will be "suspending duty-free de minimis treatment for low-value shipments" worth $800 or less from anywhere in the world. Americans will likely soon feel the crunch, with one recent study estimating that the cost of eliminating the trade loophole overall to US consumers could fall between $10.9 billion and $13 billion while "disproportionately" hurting "lower-income and minority consumers" who buy a higher percentage of cheap imports.

I've been making a sincere effort to minimize purchasing stuff unless I really need it. I'm done buying things just to have it; no more radio in every room, no more "I need a guitar for the garage, the front room, the bedroom and oh, one for the car".

I'm sick of the plastic shit we are engulfed with and how it's poisoning and damaging our children. We don't have a nation of White autistic effeminate boys for no reason.
