I'm sorry for your convenience loss, but I'm happy for the environment. Not only because of the unrestricted consumerism, but also because of the environmental costs of logistics. I too have ordered fusible resistors from aliexpress that I could not find locally. But things I barely need, only for a small dopamine kick ? I do my best to not have a small baggie shipped from the other side of the planet for that. And not even mentioning the effects of insatiability on myself.

Who would have thought that Trump would bring in a policy that would benefit the environment? Also, who would have guessed that right wing governments would start buying Tesla's? Quite a plot twist ..

  It’s random dice throw. On average Trump has shot US in both feet unnecessarily.

The resistors to your local store have to go through logistics as well. And doing the last mile yourself is a lot more inefficient than a post service doing it. Transport is also quite small fraction of most products' environmental costs.

  >And doing the last mile yourself is a lot more inefficient than a post service doing it. How do you figure?

    One guy driving a route between 100 places is probably more efficient than 100 people all driving to and from a place.

      Ah, you're assuming the customer is driving a car. That had skipped my mind, but this story is about the USA so it's probably a valid assumption.
