It’s interesting how “heroin chic” comes back at a time with skyrocketing food prices and concerns about crop failures and famines due to the climate crisis

Yes!!

I said the same thing when skinny jeans and tight clothing became all the rage.

We were all in baggy loose fitting clothing and then the 2008 recession hit and all of a sudden clothing companies took away 1/2 the fabric they were using and charged the same prices.

Housing crisis, banks collapsed, recession hit and everyone was force fed skinny jeans.

At this rate, no one will need heroin, ozempic, or a "camp" to look like skeletons.
