Are you saying that working class people can't afford to go to concerts?

No lots of working class people save up to go to concerts, or prioritise it over other spending I'm sure.
Then why did you say this? -> not really a working person's problem
Because not getting to go to see Taylor Swift isn't a 'problem'. Just like not having a diamond isn't a 'problem'.

Not being able to access water or not having a way to communicate with your community is a 'problem' for example, so we should protect those things. The right to see Taylor Swift? I'm not so sure it's a good use of precious government resources.

Then why didn't you just say it isn't a problem? Why specify a "working person's problem" ?
…because the discussion is about working people being able to access things? It’s not relevant for people who can pay anything. I think you’re deliberately being confused.
You're saying it isn't a "working person's problem" and that it's not a problem at all, but these are two different things.
