  1. Aside from drawing a line in the sand on the #Corruption issue (a good thing), the new #Labor premier of Victoria has made the same lazy declarations that are made by #Clueless govts all over Australia:

    “Carroll is also pledging to be more pro-business and tougher on crime.”

    Business support and Tough on Crime, we’ve only been spared the BS on Immigration… and this is supposed to be a #Labor govt? So the rot has spread from #AlboPM ‘s federal #NeoLiberalism to #Victoria (It’s been ensconced in #NSW for years; alive and blundering along in #QLD).

    Goodness me folks, are we going to re-elect these dimwits to govt? Or are we really going to take the fight up to the major parties by voting anyone else but #labor and #LNP ? Nor, if I need to mention it, #PHON — we’re not THAT desperate.

    Who’s with me on this?

    Damage to American small (and medium) businesses. Not the megacorps.

    The dude with the mall kiosk selling phone cases and chargers? He's getting reamed by this, and will likely go out of business, because he brings all his stock in from China in small shipments that have always fallen under the de minimis exemption (which is now toast). He can't compete with having to pay five times as much for shipping and tariffs all of a sudden.

    The independent phone-and-laptop repair place? He and his 3 techs are probably twiddling their thumbs a lot soon. Most of the parts they buy to fix your broken screen or charge port come in just like the mall kiosk dude's. A replacement screen that used to cost him $30 plus $5 shipping now suddenly costs $30 plus $15 tariffs plus $20 shipping-and-tariff-collection-and-remittance-and-brokerage-clearance charges. He'll have to double what he charges to replace that screen in your Samsung.

    Amazon? Walmart? Best Buy? All the other corporate behemoths? They're not importing in dribs and drabs by post. It won't affect them much at all, except they'll probably increase prices a bit to cover the extra paperwork to clear their shipments at the border, plus a lot more to cover the tariffs.

    (Yes, you already knew this. I just wanted to say it.)
