How does that make your bad argument better?

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.

    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.

    Ok, so we can say in plain terms: a person working in a factory should be able to afford **buying a car**.

    Yep, and I think that would have been a better title.

    But that is the title.
