The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Mad King Donald Thee Pedophile signed an executive order last month abolishing the “de minimis” mail exemption, which since 2016 had allowed goods worth up to $800 to enter the U.S. duty-free. Since the current administration is staffed by inexperienced morons, the planned policy shift lacks clear procedures and, as a result, has forced countries to halt shipments to the United States until they can retool their systems to comply with the new rules -- although the United States did not provide full details or allow enough time to prepare for new customs procedures.

DHL, one of the world’s largest courier companies, said Friday that it will stop accepting parcels containing goods from business customers destined for the U.S. beginning Monday.

The company cited unresolved “key questions” about the process, including “how and by whom customs duties will be collected in the future, what additional data will be required, and how the data transmission to the U.S. Customs and Border Protection will be carried out.”


Well, that's whatcha get when you put a failed businessman and child sex trafficker's best buddy in the White House.
