People have a fixation on vintage.
There's a supply of old clothes from mid 19hundreds onwards.
People like it. People go out of their way for the musty smell.
But.
What happens when the op shops run out?
Vintage isn't a renewable resource.
We can't set up a wind farm to catch it in the air.
Do we retire the diminished decades and move on to newer grounds?
Do we begin gang wars, using trackie pants as ammo against rivalling gangs?
Kids will take up dealing doilies and felt hats to pay the rent.
Grandmas will be robbed of the shirt on their backs.
People will walk the streets in fear, wearing the most modern clothes they own.
Vintage will only be brought out on special occasions.
Weddings and birthdays and anniversaries and funerals.
Giant companies will begin taking over any remaining vintage stocks, selling them off to the rich.
What a horrible world we will become.
