Link to such an article? Having an iPhone is a luxury, not any generic phone. I don't think anyone has asserted that having a phone is a luxury.

"The Deutsche Bank Research report defined luxuries as 'goods or services consumed in greater proportions as a person’s income increases'"

It probably does not include smart phones, because I doubt people with high incomes spend proportionately more on smart phones (how many do you need, after all).

They're just using a standard economics definition of luxury good. Avoids messy questions (like theo's).

I know, but I'm not sure how closely it tracks people's intuitions (which is probably roughly "things poor people don't really need").

I used to get bent out of shape about this shit, but honestly, I can't blame them. Society has destroyed their families, their communities, their churches, their schools, and, ultimately, their hope. No shit they need trinkets and trash food to tickle the pleasure centers of their brain. They have nothing of substance left in their SPS lives, which is not to say higher classes of people are doing much better.

Obviously, this is true to some extent, but even in those cases, they were enabled by society. Just replace Christianity with the worship of hedonism and implement policies that ensures anyone with the least bit of promise bolts from their families and communities right when they would have been entering adulthood, historically, speaking, and becoming a positive influence on those around them. Obviously, all of this is for the best of the lower class as a whole.

Maybe next they'll do another facile article on how the bottom 10% of earth's population today lives better than some European monarch in 1650.

See? GC benefits all. No need to worry. GC will provide if you let it. Don't concern yourself with sensitivity to relative social position and fairness that has been engraved into your DNA over millions of years.

no shit.

when i tried that inner-city public school teaching last fall, 80% of the students were on free lunches and other social benefits programs, yet they all had the latest cam newton cleats, lebron james basketball shoes, and samsung galaxies/iphones.
