A glimpse of how bad the general USA population is -- Kayne West sells out of plain white t-shirts at $120 each
You know those plain white t-shirts that Hanes and other brands offer in stores for a couple of bucks each? Well, apparently Kanye West had thought that he could take the same item---a plain white t-shirt with no design, nothing special etc. and make a nice profit by selling them at $120 each. And you know what? People gobbled them up very quickly; thus, he sold out.

Seriously, what is wrong with people? Are people that gullible to pay $120 for an item that you can get the same exact thing for at $2 or $3 each? People can spend their money they way they want but I can't believe people would drop that kind of money on something because this guy offered it. Blah... no wonder the country is in trouble. wtf

Here's the story by the way with pictures of the t-shirts:

Man! You are fucking stupid. When Wallstreet stole all the bond money off toxic mortgage derivatives alot of people in the 1% got even richer you stupid fuck.

THAT is who is buying 120 dollar T-shirts.

You will defend their "Right" to fleece you with your life and do not even recognize them popping into the drug store with 20,000 dollar watches on their wrist.

I told you that the transfer of wealth in America is OBSCENE. That is who is buying 120 dollar White Tee shirts from Kanye.

You don't get it do you. The rich are all around you everyday flaunting it in your face but you are so fucking clueless that you can't even see it.

Your dumb asses run around talking about what America "Can't" afford. cruise Yeah because you let the wealthy get away with paying no taxes o they can buy 120 dollar White Tee shirts from Kanye while your social services and pell grants get cut, cruise

Marketing!
They don't expect them to sell. Probably brought by those on the inside.
Meanwhile, they get all kinds of media exposure; even negative, doesn't matter.
Then later, they'll "slash" the price to 50%, and the sheeple who didn't buy it before, will buy it.

The sheep will look at themselves as rebels for buying a product that the media has told them they shouldn't buy. And will feel good about themselves for getting it at 1/2 price.

Guaranteed they're not the same but white tshirts are the worst "investment" in terms of clothes, regardless of the materials used.

You're buying the name, and most of the time, that name has history. Who buys god of war clothes? Millions do

User 44455074, the t-shirts are labeled as "HIP HOP t-shirts." The business people that you loathe aren't walking around in plain ts with 20k watches.

Hence the Macklemore song.

Seriously though this is just one example of millions to why consumerism is stupid. Just watch the lines when they release a new phone everyone crawling all over each other to throw their money at Apple or whatever corporation for the newest gizmo that changed 1 thing and was already outdated months before they brought it to market.

My clothes cost a fair amount; It is my responsibility to find out if the labor and wages are fair for all stages of material growth and production to the assembly.

We complain about making 10-16$ an hour but we endorse that when we purchase cheap garbage. Garbage like a three dollar shirt.
