Also en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pirate_... will send you down a rabbit hole. I visited them in 2013.

One more thing of interest is the oddity of Point Roberts, Washington, a small inlet that was overlooked when treaties were signed, so it's a lip that is US. I frequently mail things there because Canadians purchase PO Boxes to have a US address

There's a profitable business opportunity by formalizing this loophole as gig work.

Essentially you purchase on behalf of a foreign/US buyer, then you ship as a gift, collect a handling fee and reimburse the cost and avoid any tariff.

I'd keep my eye out, It might already exist.

What I've started to advise my buyers is to find an American friend to purchase the item and then have them send it overseas as a gift to avoid the fees.

Usually a few hours later someone else in the US then buys it. I assume they're taking the advice, especially since I'm selling mostly rare books

I was a fan, donated money, bought the books. Then when the opportunity arose they unzipped and pissed on my face.

@404media.co I'm a subscriber, going on the 30th, really like what they do.

But honestly maybe I should skip it

Honestly I already do. And I only trust keyboard events as wakeup.

They've been running this scam for decades: intentionally mess things up, blame scapegoats on it and rally the base.

It's the same as sabotaging public resources in order to privatize them.

They're destroying things now in order to have things to blame "liberals" on later

But they're in an actual death cult. Look at these people, they're totally cooked.
