You can’t really sell ‘fancy designer products’ at ‘very affordable prices’.
Well, you can, I suppose. Just not for very long.

That's our entire market. You're right about not being able to cash in on that hustle for very long, though, at least in my experience. I've started three operations like this in different states at different times and the most profitable year in every case has been the first, with the exception of the second, which just failed spectacularly before it really began. Entirely backwards for the overall industry. We joke about needing to move every seven years to keep our income stable. Ultimately, losing our market share is a success condition for us - but we're not independent operators selling skirts out our trunk. It's fair to say that we're an extension of the state.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

I get the impression that Ahriman thinks he make a go of it by selling Dolce & Gabbana goods at Joe’s Stuff and Such prices. Ain’t happening.

He seems to live in his own reality. Perhaps he can make a go of it there.

I think I’m going to start referring to people who reject evolution as ‘primate change deniers’.

Boru I was thinking of myself as some eccentric billionaire who wanted to do something nice for people, and didn't care if he was losing money.

So why not simply give people money? People like money.

Boru If I gave some people money, pretty soon everyone would be asking for money.

Simply because they ask for it doesn’t mean you have to give it.
If your intention is to do good by the implausible notion of bankrupting yourself by saving people money on high-end goods, it would be much easier to cut out that step and just bankrupt yourself by giving out cash.
It’s actually interesting, though, to see that your lunacy is infused with masochism.
