Any thoughts on the 145% Chinese tariff on purchases?

Yikes. Hopefully not an early roll out of the tariff plan.

Or, my fear is that even the people implementing these procedures at various offices, regional and local, don't know what they should be doing so they're just "winging it".

Yeah. That's even worse!
Like most, I'm pausing all ali buys until this thing gets figured out. Hopefully its not as bad as we think.
