Hello from your South superpower neighbor, Brazil. We have free healthcare, free higher education, acceptable welfare, loads of dumb people and cheap chinese products. On the plus side, at least our electricity is overwhemingly green.
I do give a shit if you buy a new tablet every couple years when the old one works just fine.
Me:
Buying a new tablet every couple of years: something poor people notoriously do.
You:
Swap tablet for phone, and the answer is yes.
So it sure sounds like you’re saying that poor people shouldn’t buy a new phone when their shitty phone breaks in a couple of years to me. Because the old one never works just fine on account of it being a shitty phone. Which you should know what with your apparent intimate knowledge of global poverty.
Weird how your insult doesn’t reflect what you’ve said so far.
Also, I have not insulted you once. Are you really unable to have a conversation without insulting people? Is this how you talk to people when you’re in the same room with them?
Or, sometimes people who are poor have to constantly buy new phones because they frequently can’t keep up with the payments.
When you lose service for nonpayment, you may have few options other that to buy a new phone (as part of a service plan) once you can afford it.
Still the point is that it’s an essential item and it’s kind of a jerk move to be judgemental about that when billionaires got richer faster than any other time in history through the pandemic.

The answer is no there too. I don’t think you understand what ‘poor’ means. Many of them have phones that are subsidized.

Poor people don’t buy phones every few years because they’re poor.
'muricans and their anglocentric view, man… I swer, you lot don’t even think there’s a world beyond your borders.
I see, so which country do you live in where impoverished people can afford to buy a new phone every few years?

And you think they shouldn’t do that.
Got it.
Once again you prove to be illiterate…
