2022/1/2 I've really taken it for granted that the sizes of different brands will be wildly at odds with each other. I realize that this shouldn't be the case and that clothes and shoes should be measured by the same units. That there is no rational excuse why any particular brand would deviate so far from the standard. There are many things that I take for granted that I should not, things that just seem to be the way of the world I came up in. The problem of what to do once I find that something is amiss is rather important for me. I've certainly spent much of my life doing everything in my power to do right and avoid feeding the less than right. Some things, even so, are just too well established and too instrumental to fight. How can one avoid entirely the systems of corruption and negligent acceptance that comprise the world in which they live?
