There are many good things about this, American consumerism is out of control
We discuss climate change and how “companies are the worst offenders” but what drives those companies? American consumerism
Importing fast fashion, cheap plastic bullshit, other nonsense in plastic packaging, etc (much of it produced in countries that still utilize very dirty fossil fuel chains) ultimately funds and drives significant demand to keep it going and expand.
Also puts huge demand on fuel for international shipping of dumb bullshit.
Next thing to do would be to further reduce fuel demands by limiting air travel and consumer fuel usage but Trump isn’t going to invest in public transport, obviously. This is only a byproduct of his idiocy. After that would be to address concrete and other building material demand/suburban sprawl. Although the time to do this was 20 years ago
The only good thing about this is hopefully slowing down the disposal clothing fad from Temu.
If this had to happen, I really wish there was a reasonable DM, even $50, and then a requirement to not split shipments to stop business import abuse.
