The problem is big businesses like Temu can bulk ship and still only pay a certain %.

But it will ruin small businesses who do only small shipments and will now see a flat fee that may be half or more the value of the good.

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
