Some insight on margins within the fashion/shoe industry. While production costs are a small part of the retail price, it doesn't mean margins are inflated.

Everytime I turn around and see something that isn't going well, I find #capitalism is at the root of it. Here's the latest:
Although #inflation in the #US has largely receded as a major problem, companies fixated on their #profit #margins continue to raise prices. Why are we not calling out these capitalists?

I got #S. by #DougDorst and #JJAbrams for Christmas, and have been attempting to read it ever since. I'm only on pg 39, and have had to reread already as I try to figure out my "plan of attack" so I actually get what's going on. The main text is a story called #ShipOfTheseus by fictitious author #VMStraka and tells the story of a man with amnesia who gets shanghaied (is that still an acceptable term for it? Probably not. I'm gonna have to look into that later, but if someone else corrects me in the comments before I make an edit, here's a pre-emptive THANK YOU!) and finds himself part of a mysterious crew where he is apparently known as "S".

In the #margins is a conversation between two fictitious college students named Jen and Eric. They've so far never met, but converse via the margins of this book as well as random bits of paper they tuck between the pages. Most of their conversation revolves around solving the mystery of who VM Straka really is, but also some flirting and some comments on their own lives.

I'm having a bit of a hard time keeping both stories straight in my mind, so I think my plan is to read each chapter with the corresponding comments and bits of paper, then going back and rereading the chapter with JUST the text of Ship of Theseus. My brain is currently doing a GRAND job of keeping Eric and Jen's part of the story straight, so it's just the main text I need to revisit

Has anyone in the #bookstodon #fediverse read this book yet? Any tips on how best to proceed? This #book is definitely an amazing experience, it's just a lot to take in at once!

I've been thinking about all these #journalists complaining about losing their voice on the #twatterverse and all the consumers of their #journalism suggesting that #elonmusk is being such a can't to them but where were the voices of #trans and the rest of the #rainbow #family in the same media when they had a voice on #Twitter but have no thought to people on the #margins of our lives.
These same people ignored cries for a voice and continue to do so now in the #msm when those of an #alternative #sexuality or of #diverse #gender all to be heard.
Now perhaps you can actually feel our pain in our disrespected silence. And change.
