The General Motors ignition switch recalls refers to February 6, 2014 when General Motors recalled about 800,000 of its small cars due to faulty ignition switches, which could shut off the engine while the vehicle was in motion and thereby prevent the airbags from inflating.[1] The company continued to recall more of its cars over the next several months, resulting in nearly 30 million cars recalled worldwide[2] and paid compensation for 124 deaths.[3] The fault had been known to GM for at least a decade prior to the recall being declared.[4] As part of a Deferred Prosecution Agreement, GM agreed to forfeit $900 million to the United States.[5]
Charity shops. Fuck feeding fast fashion, poverty wages, and low quality materials for profit.
If the clothes have survived someone else's use and are still in good enough state that a) they were donated instead of binned and b) they were put out for sale instead of binned, then that implies the quality is good enough to last me a couple years as well.
I know my money is going to charity instead of some fashion CEO who will use it to exploit people as much as possible.
And, I'm reusing or recycling clothes instead of them having to be manufactured from new, thus reducing my carbon footprint.
Apart from no guarantee of what you'll be able to find, so finding something specific can be difficult, there's really no downsides. Although depending on your perspective this can also be an upside as it makes shopping less predictable, more spontaneous and thus more fun.
There's hundreds of charity shops to choose from as well, all with varying causes, layouts, quality, products, etc. Give it a go, make shopping fun again!
Because when climate change really ramps up and starts melting that icy land there's gonna be lotsa resources ripe for the picking and Trump wants them.
