wow, I can't believe someone would commit moral failures such as buying an iphone. the absolute outrage.

sounds like people shouldn't be impoverished. that's the conclusion you should be drawing, not this moral crusader thing of looking down your nose at impoverished people. If poor people are doing things you find distasteful, why not focus your energy on the people who create and spread poverty in the first place? and no, that's not poor people. It's the capitalists and their servants in the state
