This does not contradicts what I'm saying. Maybe you should mention that in the US this prosperity is financed by debt.

- dmoy 10y agoIt contradicts one specific bit in your reasoning, namely the "[modern] clothes are worthless" part. I think the point that Pyxl101 was getting at is that your assertion that modern clothes are of vastly inferior quality compared to older clothes is maybe not well-founded. Whether or not that's true, idk. Whether or not it's fair to pick out one specific bit of your reasoning, idk. If you have sources for any of your claims, then maybe we could continue discussion.
- MustrumRidcully 10y agoI was referring to fast-fashion brands such as Zara, H&M, etc... On a large scale in the near past, you can see a drop of quality in the clothes sold on the market. You may say that it is a conterpart of lower prices, but even expensive clothes are degrading quality in order to preserve their margins.
- benibela 10y agoNew clothes smell worse than old cotton clothes ( https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4249026/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4249026/ ) leading to bad body odor. Which is perhaps the reason people nowadays think they need to shower daily.
