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 !!!!!

Tragedy of the Commoners.

Exploit us bad enough, and there is nobody left to exploit...

Companies are gonna have to start investing in their own markets at some point...Or die.

I asked my high school economics teacher why anyone would exploit the very people whose purchasing power companies were dependent on. He made me feel like I was an idiot who couldn't understand the complexities of capitalism.

Teenage me is healing because adult me sees that he was the sheep and I was much smarter than he wanted to admit.

MAGA was right about there being indoctrination at colleges. Some people really leave out of there believing capitalism is the only way to truly function and it’s sad.

It’s like engineers overdesigning the shit out of a design forgetting that a human has to install them and some things are only physically possible on paper
