Like people were hit with 300 dollars off shipments on UPS, dude is ouchea making my statement some kind of Dems vs Repubs thingy. Bigman woke up one day and cancelled Deminimis exemption.
(The old admin was never about removing deminimis, but rather a crackdown on those bypassing it, whatever that meant. Perhaps more inspections to check if packages contain what they actually contain)
Now the suspension has been suspended. it can always be resuspended on the next whim. which will make domestic peptides premium. My focus was on reasoning why PGB can easily keep their prices the way they are.
You split the issue exact... removal/elimination vs crack-down.
At this point, politics (Dem v Rep) need be set aside to understand the existential dynamics.
FACT: The De Minimus legislation and Presidential Orders (Exec Order) from the previous term are real.
FACT: But, there is a new administration now.
FACT: This President has a track record of trashing previous Exec Orders. Look at all the Obama Orders Trump tore up.
FACT: CBP is not prepared to handle increased crack-downs.
FACT: USPS is not prepared to handle increased tariffs/De Minimus dollars.
FACT: The President is "firing" staff from entire agencies: FBI, CIA, USAID, Internal Revenue Service, Department of Education, Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
FACT: There's been no news for hiring new CBP, USPS, or any other type of Federal employee.
FACT: DOGE (Elon) is auditing government agencies to limit/cut spending.
FACT: The government is funded only through March.
This is the question... if there are plans to do more crack-downs and/or collecting tariffs... who the F is going to do it? And how?
