Why do people keep saying stuff like this? Do you live on Mars or something?
Are cars, phones, electricity, computers, x-rays, etc. only for the rich in your planet?

Have you bought a new car recently? We can't get "used gene therapies" at a discount price. A new phone is $300 for the lowest functioning model near the top is over a grand. Otherwise your locked into an unfavorable contract with a business to get it for free (where they more than make up for it by gouging you on service). I could keep going down this list but yes, cars ARE for the wealthy, same with anything but the absolute oldest/most basic phones, computers. In many modern instances those cheap items are literally unable to do many modern necessary things. Buy a 10 year old computer and try to do a video call for a job interview. Yes, there are many many people that can't afford an x ray or have to wait sometimes months to find out they should have been treated earlier. Do you live under a rock?
