    Here’s the thing about “signaling to the industry with your money”: They will take it and not give you shit.

    Pay 30$ or $300 for a drill it’s still made in China from plastic and planned obsolescence.

    Underwear is no different.

      I dunno, Makita and some Milwaukee tools are absolutely worth the money, especially if you’re willing to buy into their battery ecosystem.

      Voting with your money works. But only when there are good options to vote for.

      There are a couple BifL sock makers, but no BifL underwear makers. That’s the problem. If someone made loose-fitting stretchy aramid boxers with a drawstring that lasts 1+ lifetimes, people would pay $100/ea for them.
