Successful plan to destroy ๐บ๐ธ was clearly engineered by the Kremlin way back in 2012 and they're going to KEEP doing it until they've "persuaded" all adversaries to ruin their own countries But the KGB has had Agent๐ on a leash since the 1980s At least 20 GOP senators & pols are compromised by ๐ท๐บ

Fast fashion is all about abundance. Low prices and influencers convince Gen Zers to buy more and more, until the charges start adding up. Fast fashion has become the number one category of goods for shoppers who buy now, and pay later. From Ella Tummel: trib.al/DWw1Ffz
