    Is this video about something only large corporations can afford, or is it about something that is necessary for lots of families to have and seen as normal to buy?

        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**.

                  It’s alright, I’m willing to just take the L on this one. I just thought the title was inferring something that it seems some people don’t.

                    I…uh…don’t know how to respond to this. It’s never happened before.

                    But for real, though. Thank you for engaging in good faith and being amiable.

            A car shouldn’t be a necessity. public transport, short transfers, walkable cities and all that. But I agree – it is a necessity, sadly.
