    Struggling with their iphones many of them in US are even eating 3.5 meals a day.
    While most of rest of the world people are living with parents and take care of parents, no iphone, no netflix, no TV, eat just 2 simple meals a day and don’t complain they are struggling. They don’t even ask people if they have said thank you or ask them to wear costume to work

        And even if they did, it doesn’t matter.

        “But they have an iPhone / Computer / Telephone / Refrigerator” is a very tired trope about how people shouldn’t complain. None of those are luxury items anymore and, even if they were, someone prioritizing getting one doesn’t mean they aren’t struggling. A used or prepaid iPhone/smartphone is <$100 and necessary for even the lowest jobs and assistance programs and far more available and useful than a full computer.
