I’m not saying it was a good idea but every society has tried to solve the problem of “society needs organization to function but power tends to corrupt people” and I like how ancient Rome’s answer was the position of the tribune, where you get to have unchecked power with no accountability for one (1) year but after that you’re just a guy and everyone you pissed off can beat you to death with hammers.

I was at a meetup, and someone was bitching about thrift shopping. They wanted somewhere where clothes are like five bucks and not total trash, etc. etc. I found myself more annoyed than it really warranted. The villain here isn't them, but the total straight faced "Recommend me somewhere that has the 90s thrifting experience" as though people had just not given them the right rec yet was so headache-inducing.
Wake up! It's not the one thift shop you went to! The entire sector has turned to shit as other things have and for the same usual reasons of economic hardship, new clothing production all being rancid trash so that nothing good is even available to become secondhand clothing, and a thousand types of social media-driven side hustle where people instantly snap up the good shit and either resell it online for 5x the cost or chop it up for fugly upcycles.
The 90s US thrift shopping experience is dead. If you want to recapture it, you have to look very hard for the right shop, probably not somewhere super accessible and convenient, or you have to explore the vast quantity of local yard sales run by people who don't know what they have. I've seen Shein trash offered for $20 at my local thrift store and cashmere sweaters in the free box at the curb. Most of my wardrobe came, for free, from somebody's dead grandma's closet after the official estate sale was done and they just needed everything gone. The landscape is simply different now.
In other news, I'm reknitting the cuffs on my Halloween/fall sweater, and we're having freeeezing weather that makes it not only finally wearable but one of the most useful pieces of clothing I own.
This is why I feel people really need to understand that thrifting, while worthwhile to do for a number of reasons, is not and cannot be a systemic solution to the problem of high clothing costs/meeting clothing needs for low-income populations.
The secondary economy depends on the primary economy. If no one is buying new clothes, no new clothes will go into the thrift pool. If clothes are poor quality enough that they disintegrate within a few years of manufacture, then the clothes in the thrift pool will not be wearable quality.
You cannot 'just thrift it' your way out of manufacture collapse.

People often choose familiar pain over unfamiliar peace. That sounds dramatic, but it is basically pattern learning. If chaos is what your character knows, calm may feel like a setup. If neglect is familiar, attention may feel like surveillance. If love always meant losing power, being loved may feel like being trapped. This is why “just choose happiness” is not an arc. Happiness can be the scariest room in the house.

An underrated love language is when someone is clear and direct with you because they know you're an over thinker.
