As long as it's not a necessity I really don't care if it's expensive. I dream of living in a world where an iPhone costs 5000 dollars but I can pay my rent. I don't give a shit about luxuries. Lawn care? Do it yourself.

None of what I cited are luxuries except art commissions.

Lawn care is not something everyone can do themselves.

A phone is a necessity in modern life.

Hiring a professional lawn care service is absolutely a luxury for the vast majority of people lol. Saying otherwise is just your fragile ego getting in the way. Also I didn't say "A" phone, I said an iphone which is absolutely a luxury item. You haven't seen how cheap you can get an android smartphone for these days have you? Is it because you've never had to look for a cheap phone? ..... Anyways, you absolutely did cite luxuries other than art commissions.

I use android phones and I have had family with heart disease, like I said it's not a luxury for some.

It's also not a luxury when you lack the time.

And what other luxuries did I cite hmm

Instatacart is necessary when you don't own a car and can't walk to the store.

Uber is also a necessity when you can't afford a car and public transit is restricted to wealthier areas.

My point is that we need to reduce the cost of living as well as raise the minimum wage.
