"Unilever got a similarly bad surprise when it examined the financial management of the detergents business in Poland. Although inflation in Poland was running at about 70 percent at the time, the factory's local managers, who had never worried much about the bottom line, were resetting prices only once or twice a year. Quickly, Unilever put in place a policy of reviewing prices at least four times a year." "Omo, on the other hand, is advertised with a campaign adapted from Western Europe, and ends with women saying, "Thank you, Omo." While Mr. Overgoor said the commercials had been effective, Polish consumers widely mocked them, apparently unable to swallow the Western conceit that a grateful housewife would thank a laundry detergent." /thread

Cerebral Bore posted:elastic jeans are the best, haters vacate Jeans with a little bit of stretch are great, because they really don't limit your mobility and flexibility. If someone needs a pant so firm and rugged that it can't give way for full range of motion, they need something other than denim anyway. It's possible people who don't do much beyond walk in straight lines dont' notice the agility of a jean with a little bit of stretchy material, but man it's great for any kind of scrambling around, stretching out, climbing things, etc. If people want super hardcore thick-cut jeans, what they probably really want is a canvas or one of newer materials like you'll find in a proper work pant. They even make these in faux denim-esque color and style for the look of a jean without the drawbacks of cotton. mlmp08 has issued a correction as of 19:20 on Jun 29, 2023 |

Jeans being the symbol of the West is actually fascinating partially because cotton is the fibre of colonialism. Everyone knows about its connection to slavery in America (to this day! Angola prison uses slave labour to farm cotton), but there's more to it. The US civil war triggered a European scramble to secure other sources of cotton. In fact, that is why Egyptian cotton became so prized. The British forced a massive increase in cotton production there because they were afraid the US might stop using slave labour.

I honestly don't think those East German jeans look that bad, and I'm confused why they threw away socialism for Levis. Similarly, are bananas that good?

Frosted Flake posted:I honestly don't think those East German jeans look that bad, and I'm confused why they threw away socialism for Levis. You have to see it in the context of Americans admitting in the 90s that economic collapse in post-Soviet states came about partially because "they believed in capitalism" because "they had grown up without it" and "never experienced poverty and homelessness". People believed they would retain everything from the Soviet system, but have more stuff. They wanted more stuff, but did not see it as a trade. They did not feel that free education, free healthcare, and affordable housing were benefits of the Soviet system: they simply thought that was normal, universal, unquestionable. The only thoughts related to the Soviet system were the things it denied them. I see it to this day. My parents loudly tell me they hate everything communist. I tell them they had free education, free healthcare, and received more than one apartment for free (which then turned them into minor landlords post-90s). They say: of course, but that's not communist. When I point out capitalist countries did not have this, they get angry at me.

The stretch isn't so the jeans cling to your rear end. It's so you can bring your knees up to your chest without fighting against the jeans; that's where the 1 or 2 % stretch material pays off huge. Gotta be able to deep squat or climb in jeans or they're just kind of dumb. I'll make an exception for deliberately impractical jeans for the sake of Fashion. Stretching is in addition to wearing a belt, not in lieu of.

My parents have a piece of the Berlin Wall and my mom crossed the Inner German Border with fake documents so I shouldn't be too surprised to hear parents on the other side of the Zonengrenze were the same, but jeez.

Typing all this out made me connect the dots for the first time on something. My parents vocally hate the homeless. They get angry at homeless people when they see them. It never made sense to me, and I only now realized that's because for most of their life there was no such thing as homelessness. If your life experience is that you receive 3 apartments for free, to own forever... It becomes logical (in a twisted way) to think homelessness is a choice if you don't realize the system changed.

But it is only through fighting with your jeans in this manner that you can become truly strong. At first it might be a struggle to bring your knees to your chest with stiffer denim, but with enough practice you'll become strong enough to effortlessly rip open your jeans.

That's the thing isn't it China got access to all the things the Soviet Bloc were denied through minor cooperation with the West following the Sino-Soviet split. Being the exploitation zone for the West from the the late 80s onward which allowed them to become what they today. I don't know if China would be end at it isv today without the Soviet Union collapsing, especially as it looked like by the late 80s the Sino- Soviet split was beginning to heal
