I'm in Canada - UPS recently very strongly advised me not to send a package to the US (warranty repair item). Said high risk of large tarrif (30-50%) or the package becoming "lost". Pretty bad if UPS willing to turn down business.

Uke-player, busker, from Nottinghamshire, ordinary person, trying to make sense of the mess of a capitalist colonialist billionaire-producing shitshow that the UK and world has become. Trying to be environmentally better than many, but still having to balance that with practical home budget. Christian, which is where a lot of my philosophy starts from, but try to be inclusive and helpful. Work as a bus driver, generally schools.

"Summers have always been prime time for the spread of Legionnaire’s, and climate change only exacerbates all of these problems. For starters, the quality of natural water is degrading—creating more favorable conditions for Legionella, which loves acidic water and low oxygen levels, to multiply—as the planet warms. In the summer, the higher the temperatures and the more humid the air, the easier it is for the bacteria to reproduce in these cooling systems."
