First time I ever went there (1997) I landed at Boston Logan Airport, and a guy in plain clothes, but with a gun, stopped everyone who was departing the plane and repeatedly yelled out “American citizens this way, foreigners line up against the wall!”.

I never once felt safe going there, and was always relieved when I got out alive. Decided a few years ago that I’ll never set foot in the US again.

That seems like a good move.

foreword FYI :)

I dread to think how much energy and effort is wasted shipping these items back and forth when someone buys something online and then returns it.

It’s worse than that — a lot of returned stuff ends up in landfill because it’s not worth the cost of re-stocking it.
