By the time I got to your fifth line, your creditability crashed faster than Charlie Sheen on stage.Quote from DT-waw:
Up to about 70 billion world population everything could be free, but people prefer money over quality of life.
which jesus predicted.
Why underwear is not free?
Because hemp is illegal.
You can make the BEST fabric out of hemp. Far better and cheaper than cotton.
Hemp can be grown almost everywhere on the globe. does not need Monsanto products to be healthy.
Hemp oil is one of the most potent anticancer substances.
Get this- western world does NOT want to be happy, free, abundant.
In their sick brains best interest is to make everything as expensive as possible.
Luxury products being a prime example. its a new religion and new Gods for low melanin people. $30,000 watch, $50k bags, $1000 gbp cardigans
Quote from nitro:
I am confused by the idea of economic progress. I check the price of underwear at WMT:
Quote from nutmeg:
Boys and Girls Underwear 49 cents. 1935
---------------------
What cost $.49 in 1935 would cost $7.70 in 2010.
Also, if you were to buy exactly the same products in 2010 and 1935,
they would cost you $.49 and $0.03 respectively.
If you feel that the price of underwear is prohibitively expensive, then you may wish to consider a time sharing arrangement with some like-minded people. I'm sure they'll be able to find a spot for you.Quote from nitro:

So you can get a pair of underwear for about $13.50 / 4 = $3.75 per underwear. I wish I knew what the price of underwear was say in 1930 adjusted for wage inflation, and the price of cotton (do we need to include the price of oil to transport it?).
If machines make these things, and all of this stuff is outsourced to places that have very low wages, why isn't underwear close to free, or at least cheaper than it was in 1930?
Finite natural resources is the biggest ally of inflation.
