Capitalism literally requires it in order to run and will always re-create it if ever the latter is eliminated.

Sorry to bring back in women's clothing, but what the gently caress is happening with your sizes.
Men's might have a little more or less depending on manufacturing, but holy poo poo. How is the same label size so loving different with ladies?

In theory, female bodies have significant variations in body shape beyond simple size, especially when compared to male bodies

In practice, chaos reigns

As I understand it, it has also got a lot to do with vanity sizing.

Which is when a bunch of women said "I don't want to be a size 16, coz that makes me feel fat" so the clothes manufacturers said "OK, you are a size 14 now" by simply changing the numbers of the sizes and moving them all down a level. This led to absurd poo poo like size 0, and size -1 being a thing.

And then you have different brands/manufacturers have different arbitrary measurements for their arbitrary number sizes.

Wheras with mens sizes, your S, M, L, XLs etc. are vague enough that each size has a little wriggle room regardless of brand/manufacturer. Or in the case of jeans/pants are an actual number in centimetres/inches for the waist size.

Uh men’s is pretty hosed up to. I’m 6’3” and ~190 and that is apparently a medium in many brands nowadays.

Which also have vanity sizing going on between brands lol except they're just straight up lying about how big around their waist sizes are

At least women's clothes don't pretend that they're 36 inches when they're actually 41, Old Navy

Men's sizes are based on actual measurements. a 32x 30 pair of pants will fit a guy with a 32" waist and 30" inseam 75% of the time. Women's sizes are based on voodoo, what will make them feel less "fat", and the roll of a D20,

Rule of thumb, the more hoity-toity a store is the lower the number will be. So, say you're a 10 in a regular store? Rich people store, you're a 6 or less.

There can be exceptions of course.

Regression to the funk-mean. If that suit was clean when it went into the tub (theoretically possible), it's going to be getting worse. If it already smelled like furry failsex, it's getting cleaner as we watch.

I sure as poo poo don't trust a fursuit to airdry properly without eventually turning into a giant mass of mildew, and I sure as poo poo also don't wanna put it in a dryer because fursuits sound like the kind of thing that have "dryclean only" on them.

Re billionaires

VoteBernieFor2020 on Reddit posted:


Billionaries aren't just a policy failure, they are the embodiment of immorality. You can't be a billionaire and a good person, despite what their astroturfing PR teams on reddit may try to tell you for some of the 'good ones'.

It's literally impossible to accumulate that much wealth without the mass exploitation of others and the profits their labor generated. Not to mention the exploitation of the earth until it's uninhabitable for human life.

George Washington was the richest man in the country when the US was founded, and he "only" had today's equivalent of 500 million. That wouldn't even get him in the room with some of these ghouls today.

If people only understood just how obscenely rich these monsters were, they wouldn't be able to show their face in society while millions suffer. I like to use the analogy of a staircase, with each step on the staircase representing $100,000 of net worth. That's several years of working wages saved up for tens of millions of Americans:

HALF of people in the united states are on the base or the very 1st step. Almost 200 million people who can't even get one step up in this system.

Those households at the 80th percentile, richer than 4/5 Americans, are on the 5th step. That's about five seconds of walking to get up there.

Those with more money than 90% of fellow Americans, millionaires who we consider our upper-middle class professional class and live more than comfortably, are on the 11th step. A few more seconds of walking up from that previous middle-class step. Most Americans won't even come close to accumulating this much over an entire lifetime of working.

A billionaire is ten thousand steps up the staircase. That's enough to walk up five Empire State buildings. That's almost three hours of walking non-stop. You think they care about the petty squabbles of anyone on those first few steps or so? From these heights they couldn't tell the difference even if they wanted to. And yet those who've maybe ascended or were born on the first few dozen steps think they identify with this group as a class.

And Jeff Bezos? He's so high up it only makes sense to describe his staircase in distance. His stairs take him up 133 miles. That's more than halfway to the space station. That's more than 24 consecutive Mt. Everest's stacked on top of each other. It would take walking, non-stop, no sleep, over two weeks to ascend that high, each single step worth more than five poverty-level families in America combined.

There is no justification in the universe to that much money being hoarded by one family, and anyone working to justify it is an agent of evil
