I might sound like old man yells at clouds, but why on earth would I have an app for such a business running on my hardware? Are they paying me for that? What are they using my compute resources for?
Yeah, puzzling.
There can be reasons - just barely - to have a major retailer's app, like Walmart or Target or whatever.
But a clothing store?

So this thing is slop? Even more reasons not to use it. It means everything not specified in detail is suspect, missing, broken or insecure and maintenance will be an absolute nightmare.
The only chance any small team is going to have of making an alternative web browser is to leverage LLMs.
Not saying these guys will succeed, but if not, LLM use is not the reason why.

The initial instinct is correct. Parent is off his rocker. Simple formula is to make having 2.1 kids on average easy and pleasant. IMHO that means -free childcare from 4 months to Kindergarten -free public schools K-12 that are good nationwide -Very low cost education incl state colleges and training + apprenticeships for trades -Affordable health care -Available work that pays the bills, keeps up with inflation, puts a roof over your head
There are solutions to each of these none of which require unseemly new -ism's nor Eisenhower era 90% tax brackets. But it does require taming the corporate and political interests that have effectively sabotaged childcare, education, healthcare, retirement and wages. We see it again and again decade after decade, and somehow don't have the stones to fix it. Oh, and the foreign wars. Those have proved to be absolute wastes of treasure.
