There is a material difference between a $1K smart phone and a $100 smart phone.

There is a material difference between shoes that cost $200 and shoes that cost $20.

These things add up and acting like they don't is just silly.

Of course there is. I'm saying poor people shouldn't be judged for buying the $100/$20 versions, and also that it's an unsubstantiated myth that they're broadly wasting money by buying the $1000/$200 versions.
