Unisex with a relaxed cut, true to size, S to 4XL. Garment-dyed heavyweight tee.

Affordability is a policy choice. Rent, insulin, childcare, eggs. None of it costs what it costs by accident, and the analyst in the tee can trace each one back to a specific decision made in a specific room: a zoning vote, a patent extension, a subsidy that expired, a merger nobody blocked. Prices are decisions, and decisions can be made differently. This tee puts the argument on the chest.

Wear it to the town hall on prices, the policy conference, the state house hearing on the cost of living, the tenant meeting, and the family dinner where a relative says that is just how the economy works. It is a strong gift for a policy analyst, an economics teacher, a tenant organizer, and the friend who traced the egg price.

The tee is a Comfort Colors 1717, garment-dyed in 6.1 oz ring-spun cotton, soft and evenly colored, with a heavier hand than a novelty tee and three lines that read across a policy conference on the cost of living. Direct-to-garment. It bonds with the cotton.

Unisex, relaxed, true to size. S through 4XL. Colors: Black, White, Bay, Blossom. Also Chambray, Graphite, Ivory, Banana. It is the specific-room entry in the eat the rich collection.

Designed and printed to order in the USA. Machine wash cold, inside out, with like colors. Tumble dry low. Do not bleach or iron the design.

Is this the same as hunger is a policy choice? Cousins. That one is food assistance; this one is every price on the list, rent to eggs.

Would a cost-of-living coalition order these for the conference? Shops do. Every shirt is printed to order. Any mix of sizes, one order.

Which color do analysts pick? Black and Graphite. Bay for the town hall.

How does the 1717 fit? True to size, relaxed body. Order your usual.

Wear it to: the picket line, the rent strike, the grocery store, the shareholder meeting you were not invited to.

Printing and care
