This is how a $45 shirt becomes $90 and then $180. This 2x multiplying through the chain is called keystone pricing.

So why can't the brand just sell it to a consumer for $90, cutting out the retail markup? Because if they become a retailer, they will need to raise prices to cover their new costs.

Reminder that parents outliving their kids was total thing in the pre-vaccine, pre-antibiotics era, making headstones like these common as dirt. Here are three—out of hundreds and hundreds—in my local cemetery…🧵

This two-parter below is exactly why it's hard to make clothes in the United States.

Let's look at how much it costs to produce a button-up shirt in the US. 🧵

Someone on Twitter replies to me: "meh. buy american or stfu."

Two hours later, in a separate thread, the write: "$30 for a single button-up is ridiculous unless it is decent quality silk."

Writing something about ICE and sweet Jesus it is so incredibly dark what they are doing to these cities. We have all seen the videos, but when you wade into the details of their actions, it is extraordinarily bleak.

But at NIH we have seen this exact play before.

It looks like it is the Vought strategy -and to stop the lawless firings we have to see the bigger picture.

Beware of AI videos like the one below.

And, AI sucks for many reasons, but among the worst is that it destabilizes our shared reality.

Would muting certain words allow you to follow beer folk you like while filtering out some of their (our 🥴) political posting? I am not adept at muting so I truly don’t know. I would miss your posts on bsky if you left but also understand. 🍻

Y'all, this is a white supremacist regime intent on re-segregating the United States and removing Black people from positions of authority and access to opportunity. This must be stated as a simple 'matter of fact' and condemned at every turn.
