There Are No Solutions, Only Trade-Offs — Thomas Sowell Shirt
“There are no solutions, only trade-offs.”
— Thomas Sowell
This isn’t a slogan.
It’s a litmus test for reality.
In a culture addicted to fantasy fixes, slogans, and moral theatrics, this one line ruins the narrative.
No utopias. No perfect answers. No free wins.
Every choice costs something.
Every “solution” creates a new problem.
Sowell didn’t just write the truth — he lived it.
Now you can wear it.
Not Just a Shirt. A Statement.
This isn’t one of those thin, flimsy tees you’ll find buried in the algorithm jungle of Amazon.
It’s premium. Intentional. Built to last.
-
Soft, heavyweight cotton that actually holds its shape
-
Tailored fit — clean, modern, not some generic box
-
Won’t shrink, fade, or fall apart after two washes
-
No flashy branding — just truth, printed sharp and clean
-
Minimalist design, because real ideas speak for themselves
Printed in the USA. Available in Black and Navy.
Limited run. When it’s gone, it’s gone.
If this quote resonates, you’re already in the right minority.
Now you can wear it like a badge.
