What (presidential) primaries? I haven’t had a presidential primary with more than one option since Obama 1, and I was slightly too young to vote. So maybe actually have fucking primaries?
EDIT: yes I vote in all the other primaries I can.
Fair enough, but I think when the average person says “luxury apparel” they specificity mean Veblen goods distributed by companies that intentionally hamstring their own logistics in order to manipulate the price point regardless of quality. At that point you’re just selling deliberately manufactured exclusion as a commodity. The one-off artisan bootmaker is to luxury goods what the single family farm that hugs their cow every morning is to industrial agriculture.
Oh shit, I forgot about that because I was abroad when I voted. Okay, my mistake, they’ve given me one single primary in my adult life.
