    “The average American buys more than one new piece of clothing per week. If that matches your shopping habits, in a span of five years you have purchased more than 320 pieces of clothing.”

    Who the fuck is buying multiple pieces of clothing every week? I don’t know anyone that does that. I feel like buys-ridiculous-amounts-of-clothing George is an outlier and shouldn’t be counted.

      Do individual socks count? If so, buying a 10 pack of socks and a 6 pack of undies gets you through half a year by this metric.

    Here’s the thing about “signaling to the industry with your money”: They will take it and not give you shit.

    Pay 30$ or $300 for a drill it’s still made in China from plastic and planned obsolescence.

    Underwear is no different.
