>why would clothes shopping be essential?

I'm fairly certain you'll freeze to death without them. Broken & torn clothes are bad at keeping you warm.



We're talking about whether or not Amazon should ship things like clothes on a 2 day or a 4 week schedule during a global pandemic. I think a 4 week schedule is fine because Amazon need to concentrate on shipping essentials, and clothes that people buy from Amazon aren't essentials. If you're suggesting that Amazon should prioritise clothes in case the buyer has literally no other wearable clothes then you're going to need to justify that argument.

Anyone can make spurious points about extremely unlikely edge cases, but suggesting Amazon should plan their logistics around them is not a helpful contribution.


Not everyone can afford multiple sets of clothing for themselves. A lot of people live in poverty, day to day with what they've got. Denying access to all clothing will undoubtedly cause distress
