The problem isn't with the corporations, the problem (if it exists at all!) may be with the legislation. Complain about the law. E: CogitoCogito is absolutely right, there are companies spending lots of money around the world to push t

One could argue that they have a moral obligation to their shareholders to minimize their tax burden. I can't even imagine a moral obligation to pay excess taxes, that's simply not how taxes work.

It's downright ridiculous to complain about companies taking perfectly legal steps to reduce their tax burden. As the oft-quoted US judge Learned Hand said: > Anyone may arrange his affairs so that his taxes shall be as low as possi

This is not nearly as obvious as you make it sound. They'll need to at least have a somewhat legitimate sounding cause of action for this to work.

Really depends on the kind of "streetwear". Bespoke jeans, leather jackets, tees and boots will be easy to come by. Anything more "exotic" will depend on the specific garment. Lots of adventurous tailors around there, bu

(high end) bespoke streetwear is almost certainly going to be more expensive than (high end) bespoke suits.

What about Lampo, Raccagni or RiRi? You even see high end brands using ancient talon zippers.

Loro Piana cotton polo shirts are definitely not worth the price, the 645$ cotton/linen "jeans" definitely are. Nothing by Loro Piana is bad, lots of the stuff is overpriced but many things are quite reasonable. After the LVM

YKK makes lots of terrible zippers, you need to look specifically for the YKK Excella. Besides, YKK isn't the only high-end zipper maker, Raccagni, RiRi and Lampo all make excellent zippers too.

Loro Piana (the clothing brand) is rather expensive but you will not often (ever?) run into poor quality fabrics in their stores.

Instagram names regularly sell for 5-figure prices on swapd/ogusers. You wouldn't want to go after active accounts.
