Shouldn’t be that hard, right?

    Basically what you’re saying is we can’t have nice things because capitalism.

    I mean I’m not in the bra buying demographic but I can still understand that it’s an issue and it sucks for women.

      Yeah, if there’s anything that history and economics tells us, is that capitalism leads to less choice, whereas communism leads to many choices tailored to everyone individually

        I don’t think history has ever given us communism, so there’s no way to know.

            If you see an Englishman in a kilt, it’s ok to say he’s no true Scotsman. See, “no true Scotsman” is only a problem if person/movement A IS actually fulfulling the functions of role B. And if you can read Marx and find a government that consistently tried to follow his writings, I’ll be very impressed and concede the point. (Though then we can talk about the difference between Marxism and other forms of socialism.)

      See, logistics and capitalism don’t have to be tied together. A business at the end of the day needs money to stay in business. If people were willing to pay a bunch of extra money to have stuff that fits them right, it wouldn’t be so hard to keep it all in stock. It’s when you combine cheap prices, dozens of combinations of sizes and styles, customers that expect an employee will clean up their mess, and the need for immediate availability that things start to crumble.

      I think it would still be an inventory nightmare to manage under socialism or communism.
