US Postal Service U-turn on China parcels sows confusion among retailers, shippers​

The purpose of the tariffs are to help resolve the societal issues of USA, to make America Great AGAIN.

1.)
NO nation can afford to continually import goods, worse - low quality goods regardless if high or LOW value goods from other nations & expect growth.

Once such dependence sets in, based upon the policy of cheap, cheap, cheap, one's own nation, industry, dollar value & economy WILL sink, as industries will just give up producing, factories closing, retrenchments rise, local supply chains bankrupted, and eventually reduces a nation to poverty that even those foreign exporters will lose their large consumer base....as without jobs, WHO can afford even a foreign imported underwear?


2)It is only comprehensible that the US Postal Service may have teething issues dealing & complying with the Tariffs. Ultimately, it is just a matter of organization, which lays within the responsibilities of the CEO in charge.

i) As parcels from China FLOODS in, it would take MORE time to process those parcels. That the CEO surrendered just means he lacks organizational ability. All it needs is just to hire MORE staff - management & supervisors as well as necessary equipment to vett parcels from China, & also part time or gig workers to help out.

The US Postal service process & delivers a staggering an est 23 MILLION parcels a day. Just a 10% tax on 4 Million parcels from China alone, est a low price of $2 on low value goods would translate into $8 Million per day, $240 Million/mth or $2 Billion/yr, to pay off the full time & part time staff, with even high left over funds to contribute to the National Treasury for social expenditures - healthcare, education, infrastructure, etc...


ii) With such abilities, any parcel from tariffs facing nations will be notified of the TAX needed to pay in order to receive the parcel, as notice of tariffs had been sent out to Americans whom supports poor quality China goods & the robbery of jobs within resource rich USA, which such cheap low quality goods would HINDER local American entrepreneurship from even trying to compete in the market.


But should a high tariff be set in, local entrepreneurs may find it possible to not only create jobs, but make a sustainable living, thus flourishing the economy.

Such is just a basic economic free market principle learnt from the 70s when oil producers raised their prices, eventually leading to Humankind to find alternatives - fracking & numerous energy resources that had been overlooked just because we were lazy to find & explore.....

It's a pause to allow existing parcels to clear customs.
