When they say something like “apparel is a $2 trillion industry,” how do they come up with that number? What data is used, how is it gathered and calculated?
In:
Their data points are far too inclusive, IMHO.
For example, they’ll count the cost of the machines that made, <designer A’s> line….and then count those same machines again, that made <designer B’s> line.
They’ll count the gas it took for a truck to ship the clothes from factory to the airport. They’ll count the, (fair wear and tear), of those trucks that shipped it from the factory to the airport.
That number, is heavily bloated. I think the real number, is less than half that…..
