Apparently there is such a thing.
I should preface this by saying it's new. Before, your clothing was either well-made and lasted year after year, or else it was crap. But there was no such thing as "disposable clothing."
Oh, wait. Here it is:
WTO's Agreement on Textiles and Clothing
Now it all suddenly makes sense. How the clothing I've bought recently (post ATC is the term--and, mind you, it wasn't nearly as cheap in price as it was in quality) fell apart after a couple of washes. That's it! It's supposed to be disposable. You don't mend it, you throw it away.
I'm still shaking my head over this. How the lifting of a trade agreement produced a brand new clothing concept in so short a period of time.
