To add: It’s not a limited resource. It’s just potentially a loss of a sale (that you wouldn’t have gotten anyway). It doesn’t disappear as soon as someone obtains it.
Or, at least, perhaps I’m sympathetic because I grew up in that environment. Existing where everyone else’s conversations are dominated by recent media, and being socially excluded because essentials are all you can afford, isn’t a fun experience. It’s a mind-numbing state of existence that I wouldn’t wish on anyone. The experience of being suspended indefinitely.
And also because amount of money is strongly correlated with amount of exploitation of other humans, whether recently or historically, and those being the prerequisites to experience a shared form of human connection is a little sour to me. But that’s economics and a very vast topic.
