#3> Now a global pandemic had hit. He couldn’t foresee that. No one did.
Some people did. Taiwan prepared after SARS. Of course nobody forsaw all possible consequences but it would be better to say that not everyone has the capacity to account for all possible tail risks.

#5The collapse of the fashion industry does not mean the clothing industry will collapse.
People still need clothing obviously (cheap and of good quality preferably).
Also, what do we consider the fashion industry exactly? Most long term clothing trends seem to be dictated by a couple of factors. Consisting of:
- practicality. Jeans are good example of this. It's cheap and practical clothing that lasts a long time.
- cultural "requirement": clothing that is required to fit into social circles. The shirt would be a good example of this, aswell as the tie.
- Enviromental requirements: This one should be obvious ofcourse, No one wears a wool jacket in abu dabi.
Fast fashion and the fashion industry as a whole seems incredibly wasteful to me. Buying new clothing because of yearly trends is way to damaging to the enviroment for what it's worth.

That's true. But, even allowing for specialty clothing that they don't wear all that much and clothing that doesn't fit quite right, etc. but they haven't gotten rid of, most people have way more clothing than they really need. Even for generous values of need.

#8I'm saddened by the job losses, but the fashion industry (esp. the high end) seems nothing but a toxic drain on society and the environment. New "trends" dictated by celebrities and designers every year do nothing but sow personal insecurities and environmental destruction. Good riddance.

#9Good riddance. The majority of my clothing spending was for rarely worn social compliance items like a suit, ties, and nice shoes.

They probably wanted it to look good on their insane high resolution screen judging by the font... They shoulda sized it in em and not pixels specifically.
OTOH reader mode on firefox fixes any of that nonsense.
