And people deserve lots of things whether or not the market values them highly.
People deserve nice, newer cars with modern amenities even if they can't afford it? Yeah, you're correct: that does seem to be the mindset of the people I know with nice, new cars that cost more each month than their rent. Not sure I agree with the idea that they "deserve" them. But, then, I'm not sure anyone "needs" or "deserves" new cars just because they want "nice shit." Very modern capitalist of you though.
Me: Everyone deserves to live comfortably regardless of how much capital they have
You: Wow you fucking capitalist
??? lmao
Sure thing, champ. You seem confused about the difference between capitalist critique and underwriting unnecessary consumerism.
Regardless, you don't seem worth the time, so I'll save us both effort and block you. Feel free to respond, but I won't see it.
Bro thinks only rich people deserve heat and ac, bluetooth audio connection, driving assists and accident prevention, etc etc. lol
Fuck poor people, amirite?
