Question of the day:
Why are you paying more than something is worth?
Where I am atm basic food stuffs are dirt cheap. You can have rice and chicken for under a dollar. If you can't afford that there are restaurants that will feed you for free, you just ask. You can buy a new shirt for $3 and new pants for $5 or less. No brand names but you can eat and dress for around $1.50 a day. Basics are cheap. You want a sugar drink? It is about $20 a case.
Why are Americans paying $30-50 for underwear?
Why are the retailers charging that much?
Simple, because you pay it. Stop paying more than something is worth and you will see prices fall like leaves. Stop keeping up with the Jones's. That is mocking bird making you do that. No one cares what label is on your clothes, car, or food. You think they do because you do. Stop caring and start living a brand free, amazingly fulfilled life.

😂 You have no idea just how much Americans expect to get what they want. There was a time, when everything we bought was made in the U.S., high quality, built to last forever, furniture, cloths, cars, food, it was made local and it was good!. Then, junk from overseas and especially china started pouring in, tech with planned obsolescence, everything became thinner, diluted, cheaper in quality in everyway, yet prices stayed the same. The only way to get the better quality foods and clothing was to pay a higher price. I bet your coke has cane sugar. Ours has a disgusting amount of High Fructose Corn Syrup which causes diabetes. So people have to buy more expensive brands to get a better quality soft drink. Cheap cloths from over seas, are thin, shrink and distort in shape after a wash, or are so synthetic they don't breath. People have to get the more expensive quality brands. Americans are spoiled, gluttons and materialistic at large. People on welfare here eat Steak. You mean well.💛

Americans were taught to think that way. It was bred into them from when they were old enough to understand. The clothes here are not the crap they send to America, that stuff is junk like you say. Everything here is made of cotton or has a majority of cotton in it. It is cheap because the people are poor. They can only pay so much so they are only charged so much. That is my point though. We think that more expensive is better but we made it that way. I would rather buy 30 shirts for $2 than one for $60. Soon that shirt won't be $60 anymore. America buys brands not quality and we tell ourselves it is because it will last longer but in truth we only wear an article of clothing around 20 times before we replace it, some even less. What does quality matter if it is replaced before it wears out? Some are like me and keep the same things for a decade or so but most don't. Bigger and better is a must. We just need to change how we think if we want change to happen.

See, nice cotton is a luxury here. You have NO IDEA, the extent to which we wee sold out to China. We lost all of our furniture makers, auto makers, clothing manufacturers, foods went processed and became "food like products". Our rice from China is plastic. and saw dust was discovered to have made up 30% of the meat in a taco bell taco. Other junk is chemically laden to get people addicted and to increase profits for corporations. In short, you think people pay more because they are label conscious and its not the case most often. People pay more because they want the real thing, what use to be good, normal and expected quality of American made goods. U.S. made was starting to come back under Trump and prices were coming down and jobs were on the rise. Its not the talking heads media. It is government and corporate corruption setting the stage. WE did have a tiny home trend and people have become more minimalistic and are cutting out excesses. We are getting it sorted out.👍
