    That was where I stopped reading and taking him seriously. I don’t know if we have enough clothes for 6 generations (and I somehow doubt it but I am happy to be educated) but the claim we don’t need to work anymore is a fucking nonsense.

      For the clothes, yeah 6 gens might be stretching it, but definitely multigen. Think of all the fast fashion in the landfills. Think of your average department store of what’s just on the shelves. Think of how often we dispose of perfectly good clothes out of our own closets. It adds up.

        Not to mention how far small simple repairs can extend the life of clothing.

        Got a hole in your jeans? Many people would bin them. If you instead patch the hole you now have perfectly functional jeans again.
