Do you understand that you can go online to Ebay and shop for designer duds all USED in the Ole U.S.A. and see that there's a larger market online than in brick and mortar?

In the U.S. major labels and biz groups have tried for decades to have the used clothing biz shut down and only restricted to exports. Unlucky for them, each time they tried to muscle their way, they got beat down horribly.

They even pushed the local authorities to limit where and how many thrift stores can operate within shopping districts.

Stop talking of stuff you certainly show to know nothing about in the first place, and secondly and worst, trying to make a point about the DR economy on all this.

Stick to other topics...

Fortunately the powers that be did not shut down such businesses in the US, but those in the real power in the DR do seem that they will finally shut down the business in the DR where I think the percentage of people who need inexpensive clothing is likely to be higher. And after all, it is not about the US or it happens everywhere, it is about THE DR, is it not?
