    I don’t disagree, just a quite reminder that not everyone can afford this. The meme doesn’t say it but it gives “money doesn’t buy happiness” vibes and while this isn’t false, a certain amount of money is required for this.

          We call it expensive, which is a subtlety that the title of this meme poopooing on “consumerism” is missing out on.

          Hence, a boogie meme. Those of us down here in the dirt don’t have time for these luxuries; we consume imitations.

      Maybe I’m misunderstanding the picture, but I thought that’s why they were called luxuries - because not everyone gets to have them. Though they aren’t what we usually associate with a luxurious lifestyle.

      E: just to be clear, everyone should have them, but many are too occupied with the daily battle for survival.
