you mean the rising usd cost?

yeah

We lost 80 cents overnight.

what caused it anyway

Two things, the migrant "caravan" and the president elect canceled a big infrastructure project.

An airport.

And last saturday another migrant "caravan" left El Salvador, they just broke through the border again.

That's good for me since buying USD go get my stuff will be great LOL

The image of the country comes out as uninterested on enforcing laws and unfriendly to investors.

So is cheap Chinese shipping going away?

Not soon.

Is there a recommended Chrome cast from Ali? I'm just after something that will let me push YouTube to my TV. My TV already has Netflix, Amazon etc on it.

@(import (srfi 151)) expect EU crackdown on it by 2020

@esdeca Kodi

@Tribit I meant to the US. Didn't we withdraw from some postal treaty?

yeah but it to will take a year or so to go into effect

So you're saying I could hoard and resell with a small markup?

Maybe

theres lots of people doing that already

so good luck

Papa Trumpu is gonna negotiate a better rate for the USA, or have the UPA remove China's "developing country" status, just you wait

Sure…

Wouldn't surprise me if china front a good chunk of the money to subsidize it tbh. But its going to cost more definitely.

This is really untenable for pretty much every developed country tbh

@Julian yeah, margins would be pretty small on sales that aren't guaranteed, so kinda risky I guess.

how will they crack down on it?

Most shipping companies are state monopolies so it would be easy as the government also is customs.

Unless the chinks decide to get into privatized couriers, which will be massively expensive the western postal services can easily tell them to fuck off and pay more.
