And let's not make it like all poor people are blameless for their circumstances. Many made, and continue to make, poor decisions that keep them in poverty. They can start by not getting pregnant at 14 and 15 and dropping out of school.
And I never said they needed to buy those phones just phones in general. Don't put words in my mouth just to suit your bias and stance. You don't know what is the reason why they feel they need a smartphone versus you. You don't know the motivations behind it and because you don't, you can't really make blanket statements.

Those in countries with a NHS do not pay high premiums or deductibles. Is that what your meant?
