great thread (with lots of manufacturing specifics I didn't know!) but anyone who's ever made a button-up shirt can spot the problem at a thousand yards

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."

It’s really hard to describe to people who are not artists how survival mode does *not* inspire creativity, as the myth would have us believe. It suppresses creativity as you try to limit every possible risk – and the opportunities that come with them.

It turns out building habits and stuff actually requires not being in survival mode, who knew?!
(Yeah yeah I did)

One reason manga is more accessible than US comics is that with manga you can start reading at volume one and expect to continue directly through the next numbered volumes under the exact same title in order without major shakeups in the direction of the story or the creative team every few volumes

They've entirely forgotten those exist, as that would require military members to exist as real people while off-duty

Oh. Oh no. No, no, no. This isn’t grabbing the third rail, it’s sticking your tongue on the third rail while dressed up as Reddy Kilowatt and playing “Thunderstruck” by AC/DC. Do not mess with the commissary.

I know these guys are all dumber than a sack of hammers, but it is fascinating to see the military decide “logistics are gay” in real time
