Breaking news: Hostels in third world countries loose their charm as you get older.

It seems like this site is more EU based. Does anybody here know if there is an MLS equivalent in this jurisdiction and/or if similar copyright holders over there are as litigious?

You stay motivated by remaining as close to the value you are delivering to your customers as possible, so you can feed energy from their use of the product.

Ok I'll bite. The de minimus rule allows any import valued under $800 to enter the USA duty free. Chinese drop shipping companies and others leverage this rule to ship millions of packages direct to consumer. Many Chinese companies split a large freight shipments into dozens of smaller shipments to avoid paying duty fees.

My understanding is, trade war stuff aside, the effect this has on customs is to overwhelm their intake facilities with small packages, thus allowing shipments of narcotics and illicit goods to make it through without much chance of getting caught. The idea is that removing this rule will force shippers to bulk ship freight and allow customs to better inspect smaller shipments.

Edit: I'm stupid and did the math backwards.

I will never stop finding it hilarious how quickly progressives run to racial crime statistics and hold demographic breakdowns of violence sacrosanct when it comes to dogs breeds.

Im not a fan of the premise that a small percentage of a population being responsible for an outsized percentage of violence is a result of their breeding. It's the environment and socialization factors that drive this.

Good luck with that. Legal slavery is literally codified into our bill of rights.

During my commute I watch a homeless guy in my town walk 2 miles with a limp everyday to the spot he panhandles. There may be more to it than walking.
