Cap this

While reading one of numerous reviews of the show ‘Succession,’ a show I love, I found one that commented on the clothes they were wearing. The character, Kendall Roy, was wearing a brand of waterproof baby cashmere basketball cap, the brand was one I am unfamiliar with, but it did look nice. The part that didn't look nice was the price for the cap of £535 or US$660 which seems a lot even for a billionaire.

For me, it seems that spending more than a week's wages on anything but a suit is wasteful. There are so many people wearing recycled or hand-me-down clothes that a better approach is needed. There seem to be few realistic ways to feed and clothe the world but maybe a few less billionaires, apparently there are about 3,000 of them, and a lot more people getting enough food to eat would be a start.

We all want the naked truth but a few more clothes might help to shield a lot of people.
