    The irony is “necessities”.

    Plenty of unemployed people out there enjoying life on levels you’ll never get to ibecause of “nice to haves” being classified as “necessities”.

    It’s something only the top echelon of Earth’s population could be plagued with. The same proportion with the high suicide rates and mental health issues. The ones that can’t live without being in a “developed” society.

      if it is necessary the industry behind it should not be allowed to profit and should be run and owned by the working public.
