Character still matters.  It always matters.

I wear a mask as an exercise in liberty and love for others.  To see it as an infringement of liberty is to entirely miss the point.  Be kind.

Trust fund babies are usually idiots. They have never done any real work, never held a real job, and paid tutors do all their homework and assignments. Being rich doesn't make you intelligent, but it can easily turn you into an arrogant moron. Nordstrom has used this understanding of wealth to bilk rich morons out of millions of dollars.
You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
Rational fear and anger at vicious murderous Islamic terrorists is the same as irrational antisemitism, according to the Leftists.

I'm with you.  I fully expect these stupid jeans to sell like hotcakes in the upscale malls.

Maybe for a few weeks, until the idiots get kicked out of restaurants, bars, and shops, for looking like a filthy hobo. I could make my jeans look just like that in five minutes in my backyard. But, I have more common sense than that. When my jeans look that way, legitimately, I change and wash them. I would never even consider 'going out' looking like that. But, I'm not a rich moron, so...

This looks like something straight out of Zoolander. It's still hard to comprehend that these guys are serious.

The Barracuda Straight Leg Jeans aren’t pants. They’re not even fashion. They’re a costume for wealthy people who see work as ironic – not iconic....

It's being advertised as 'Dégoûtant fashion'. Fashion for the faire le pitre. Only $425 for one, or two for $995.

I'd sell them real jeans with real mud, grease, oil, tar, even horse poop on them for half of that. I'd even offer a variety! Mix and match!

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Odd story - when I first went to uni, I was doing the registrations thing, and looking for interesting clubs to join at the SU wearing an old pair of jeans that were more patches than original fabric. A guy walked up to me and asked if I'd sell them.  :shrug:

I did. Bought new ones and a couple pints with the cash.

I like it. Buy one pair, get the second pair for twice the price.

Anyone stupid enough to buy fake dirty jeans wouldn't do the math. If you've got a rich fool in your shop, may as well get what you can get.

Nordstrom was selling these idiots rocks a couple of weeks ago.  Plain ordinary rocks, like you could find on the side of any road, for $85 - $100. It has no purpose, use, or function at all, and yet rich people bought them up. Check it out.

The comments (reviews) are a hoot, too.

I wonder if we could sell them a traditional buffalo chip fire kit?

Bow drill (with waxed faux sinew --no animals harmed in the making of this kit), dried grass (for tinder), and 5 lbs of genuine dried buffalo dung...in a box with a printed beadwork motif... Should be good for a couple hundred bucks.

Nordstrom's next big product rollout is apparently going to be pre-stained underwear for men and women. You get a selection of different kinds of stains which you can select for a customized finish.

For the tee shirts, you can get pit-stains along with your choice of coffee, mustard, ice cream, and/or spaghetti sauce on the front. For the briefs/panties, you can get fake poop and/or urine stains along with menstrual leakage for the pretty ladies, and spermatum blasts for the discerning gentlemen.

All stains are guaranteed not to ever fade or wash out for the life of the product. I heard that you can preorder at the Nordstrom website for  $99 per set, one top and one bottom.
