A whole new meaning of POW...

…. and when they reach the poor countries …. what happens?
Given away to needy people?
I’ve watched it happen, and was surprised to see the whole lot sold to a businessman who paid $600.
$4 from my own pocket purchased 2 pairs of expensive designer jeans … donated by a good hearted person.

fast fashion - buy it - wear it - dump it - don't even wash it - most of it is not even of such a quality that second use is possible

Designer jeans, non Africa price: Versace

BESTICKTE MEDUSA JEANS 695 €​

Bought one pair of expensive trousers once, from Rodeo Drive, Beverly Hills (for $250 in 1984).
Fell apart after two weeks, no customer service, no refund.
Had a Hong Kong tailor copy those using thick silk plus 30 copies of a nice shirt. … in those days about $3 or maybe $10 each.
Everything turned out fine.

(The price increased rapidly to a few hundred $ per item a few years later).

I came across this road sign the other day, and taught what the hell does that mean, so a good place to put it in was the POW…

Any suggestions, funny or otherwise ?..
