You say people should be able to afford necessities. Then you compare buying a car to buying a cruise ship. One is a necessity to many people, one is completely unrelated to people. Yes the argument makes no sense when you change the subject completely. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] alilbee@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago (2 children) A car is a necessity, nobody is denying that and I state as much. To be clear, I think people should be able to afford cars. I just don't think it's weird to work at a factory where you make luxury items more expensive than the average person can afford. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] chunkystyles@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 years ago (1 child) Ok, so we can say in plain terms: a person working in a factory should be able to afford **buying a car**. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] alilbee@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago (1 child) Yep, and I think that would have been a better title. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] chunkystyles@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 years ago (1 child) But that is the title. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] alilbee@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 child) It's alright, I'm willing to just take the L on this one.
