Does not matter what size you need, they will “Always” be out of it and gladly place it on backorder due to “Supply Chain Difficulties”. “Now while you are waiting, please go to our other pages and place additional orders for the items that we do have in stock. Please, Pretty Please, with a cherry and whipped cream on top! This all stuff our buyers promised would fly out of the warehouse and it seems like it is all glued to the bins.”
Arlo is referring to Francis Fukuyama’s 1992 book, “The End of History and the Last Man”, written after the end of the Cold War. Unfortunately, Putin refuses to accept Fukuyama’s thesis that liberal democracies are destined to be the dominant form of governments in the world and invaded Ukraine anyway.
A merchant not having your size is such a trivial matter, but comes to the top when your life is safe and secure. A lot of Ukrainians would love to have that kind of life right now.
The unprovoked attack on Ukraine is proof that the UN, formed after WWII to prevent wars, does NOTHING it is supposed to do. Any country that attacks another like this should not even have a vote in the UN let alone VETO power.
Very low availability of all sizes, the loss of the actual size standards, and the very low quality of even expensive brands is a sorry state of affairs.
I used to find amusement that my wife had to try anything on because her size meant different things to different manufacturers. Lately men’s clothing has become just as bad. An LLBean large is not a Brooks Bros large. I recently ordered an XL bicycling jacket. I could barely get my arm through one of the holes. Yet most of my shirts are large…. And it looks like Janis is being drawn a bit thinner.

What is dark energy?
What is dark matter?
Why are they always out of my size?

Stupidly, Arlo. Don’t forget stupidly. Although greed gives it a run for its money.

I often feel that, if A&J were living in a swimming pool, Janis would just be getting her feet wet while Arlo would be in over his head.

Nice to see Janis has her priorities straight… Not !
They were the best of times and the worst of times…

Well, for one thing, size minus 10 does not exist.

Give them a chance. They keep changing size standards so fat girls can pretend to wear a ten.

Janis is competing with herself; All her compatriots have changed their size as well.

The only sizes I ever find in stock are XXXS or XXXXL, neither of which I can reasonably fit in…

Eventually we will all run out of options for things we need or want to buy. Then you’ll hear some screaming.

Janis does not NEED any more clothing. She only wants it. She has plenty of clothing. Same as me and most adults in the U.S.
