    Thanks for the “poor people shouldn’t be allowed any luxuries” speech and proving my point.

    Because clearly it’s fine for the rich to do this, because they spend their money wisely, right? It’s not a completely broken ass system that harms the poor for anything they buy to indulge themselves, right?

      I don’t think the point of their comment was “poor people shouldn’t have luxuries”. Stupid actions are stupid, regardless. But when a rich person buys a sports car it’s just regular stupid, and when somebody spends their entire savings on a sports car and starves later, that’s extra stupid, because priorities. Everybody is free to do whatever, but it’s important to admit when we do something stupid.
