USPS imported parcel packages down a whopping 80%, dumpster fires reach all time highs

[RobDownSouth]

Random Friday facts:

• The United States Postal Service today announced that imported parcels from ALL foreign countries were down a whopping 80 percent for the last quarter. They explained that the Trump administration's decision to remove the $800 minimum value on parcels requiring customs declarations as the culprits. Every single package imported into the United States now requires a customs declaration (and presumably collection).

• Dumpster fires and landfill fires have reached an all time high in America this year. The growing number of discarded vape cartridges is to blame. These cartridges contain tiny lithium ion batteries that combust under pressure (like a trash compactor or landfill bulldozer).

Truly, we are living in teh Golden Age of White America.
