Well, that was a strange turn, old man.
Getting sort of back on topic, seems like someone has their "Men's Underwear" in a bunch.

Most comfortable stuff out there.

Very durable.

Buy a set of the black mesh/fly when it's on sale. (Several styles available. None a really bad choice, but mesh is great.)

They have gold box deals every month or two, going for around $24 for a 3-pack.

You're welcome.

Interesting. The problem I've run into with synthetic/non-cotton underwear in the past, both on others as well as myself, is that if you sweat even a little bit you'll come down with a raging case of "stinky dinky". I imagine the mesh variety as opposed to the solid ones might mitigate that effect, but I'd want to test run a pair on a hot day first to be sure.
I originally started buying David Archy mesh for workouts/jogging, but they're so good that I've been using them for attrition-replacements with the intention of eventually making these the only kind in the drawer.

Good going testcase. A forum classic.

So you’re mad poor people are stealing necessities like underwear? You’d prefer they were ripping off jewelry? Interesting...


I don't know if that's sarcasm or not, but I don't give 'poor people' or anybody else a pass to steal.

Anything.

Shoplifting, aka stealing, larceny (generally petty), is a crime. It can and often does have significant impact on business.

Whether actually desperate or just believing themselves entitled, I don't excuse anybody for stealing. In some instances there's some room for compassion, but not excuses.

There seems to be a lot of sentiment that as long is it's not coming out of 'my' pocket, [other] people need to 'do something' about the plight of the homeless.

There's a lot of interesting stuff going on in my area with homeless shoplifting, squatters taking over a house, and the City Council threatening to take the home from the company who owns it under eminent domain so the squatters have some place to go. Those supporting the action don't own the property and would scream if it was happening to them.

'We all need to fix 'the problem' as long, and by we I mean you'.

Once I witnessed a brawl in the underwear aisle in Walmart, but I have never ever seen them locked up...
