European politicians will wear the clothes nobody wants so they can be decommissioned lawfully.
- lores 8mo agoThis kind of reply is so cliché it's tiresome. "Someone makes small step to avoid waste and environmental damage" -> "if it's not perfect it's no good at all, let the free market sort it out at t=infinity". Guess what, the free market doesn't give a shit as long as the executives make their millions.

And the homeless here mainly 'need clothes' because they have no way to wash their clothes. It'd be less wasteful to get them access to laundry facilities. And the developing world always gets the "PATRIOTS - Super Bowl LX Champions" gear and a ton of other cast-offs - I doubt they need more. To me this whole regulation sounds like a bunch of virtue-signaling politicians wanted to pat themselves on the back.

- sschueller 8mo agoWhy would you over produce something no one wants? Also if really no one wanted it, why are companies destroying the items instead of giving them away?
