    It’s a great reason to learn to sew. And if you want to make it even more subversive (self reliance is resistance to oppression) you invite a couple people and make a sewing group to learn from and with eachother, pool tools/resources, as well as strengthen your community in preparation for what may come.

      Again, I was taught to sew. No amount of teaching me to sew or me trying to learn to sew resulted in me knowing how to sew. I’ve also been in a sewing circle before. It just wasn’t my thing. Great idea for someone else, though.

        And so you will remain reliant on the benevolence of IKEA and Shenzen.

          Well, at least China is pretty good at auditing their billionaires and forcing them to flee to Japan.

          What you’re saying isn’t true, though. If enough people make their own blahajes, I can buy one from them.
