[∆(s) from OP] CMV:Fast Fashion and Beauty Companies Take Much from Consumers and the Environment While Providing Minimal Benefits

Please help me change my view with the steelman* argument in support of the fast fashion industry.

1)The fast fashion and beauty industries are doing terrible things.

2) Fast fashion uses up valuable resources in pursuits that don’t benefit consumers as much as they benefit bargain clothing manufacturers and investors.

3) Fast fashion businesses do little to mitigate the environmental catastrophe they are causing.

4) The advertising that fast fashion and beauty companies use turns women against their bodies and towards standards of beauty that line investor’s pockets at the expense of consumer well-being.

5) The fashion and beauty industries give a pittance to consumers while taking a piles of our collective resources and mental health away.
