I'll save you the read:

1) People are tightening their belts due to economic and political uncertainty and expensive leggings are not at the top of the list of necessities

2) People are more and more... GASP... Buying second hand clothes !!!!!

And the founder of Lululemon has been an asshole for...quite awhile ("who is John Galt is referring to Ayn Rand's amazing piece of bullshit). So personally I have never bought a single item of their clothing. Also I am not a size 2- so that fucker thinks I should not buy his crap anyway- so we are both happy :).

I was scrolling to see if someone would mention this. I’ve never shopped there anyway because of the prices & location (in my area it’s in an inconvenient location that also tends to be…pretty snobby), but when he said that it put the nail in that particular coffin for me.

Well, if you’ve got ‘em, you might as well wear ‘em. :-) Keep in mind that most people in the real world don’t know about stuff like this, and you can’t be blamed for not knowing about it until now.

Yeah I’m not looking for what type of brand of leggings any girl is wearing. I only know the logo because my gf too has been disappointed by her 90 dollar leggings pilfering after a few washes
