Reading, math, and problem-solving using books and "old-fashioned" methods (you know, the ones on which millions of Americans were trained for 100s of years) trains your brain in different ways.

So-called fast fashion sold in the U.S. market is literally polluting cities and the oceans in sub-Saharan Africa. This company was also grossly antisemitic. white supremacist, racist, and misogynistic. They only hired very thin white girls to work "in the front."
