    I’m a communist, hence why I like to point out the flaws of capitalism. If anything you’re the troll here and you need to chill out.

    I’m not saying that poor people shouldn’t own cars. In our car centric world the reality is you NEED a car, unless you have good public transit available.

    I’m simply saying that the objective reality is a good financial position implies being able to buffer yourself from the uncertainty of life.

    If you can’t, you aren’t in a good financial position. It is extremely hard to be poor and be in a good financial position. Capitalism is systematically set-up to keep poor people poor and rich people rich.

    I don’t think you understand what it means to be in a good financial position. Can you afford to go without work for at least 6 months? Can you survive unexpected expenses, for example car health home expenses without taking on debt? If you can’t, you simiply aren’t in a good financial position.

    I am not saying everyone is in the same financial position… in fact I’m literally saying that being in a good financial position is a privilege that is made incredibly hard to obtain under capitalism.

    Not sure why you are being downvoted it’s the truth. A good financial position includes having a healthy emergency fund to buffer some of lifes large unexpected expenses, such as car trouble.

    The reality is most people aren’t in good financial positions, which is a key feature of capitalism.
