    I would never had imagined that in my lifetime I’d see gringos reverse-smuggling game consoles from Mexico. I guess you could smuggle them from Canada too, but Mexico has always smuggled merch from USA. We even have a term for it: “fayuca”.

    The lucky ones that live near the border can cross, shop switches 2 at non-orange prices, open them and smuggle the back as personal devices.

      Oh, you think Canadians aren’t going to get in on tariff evasion? They 100% will.

      The tremendous irony is America was founded to evade massive tariffs, sorta… and now we’re doing it to our self.
