    Real men don't do laundry. Real men burn their dirty clothes in the back yard.

    To be fair, bulk socks are $1/pair. Calculating in a decent wage, soap, water, electricity, environmental impact, depreciation on washer and dryer, opportunity costs and economic benefits of keeping sock makers employed, it sure seems like buying new is at least competitive if not a superior option.
