Mind fuckery of socialism is unbelievable.

The 10₹ boot is cheaper because of the lower quality materials used. But when the poor buy it, they can save more in the form of avoided medical expenses. And any possible loss in earnings due to sickness. For the company, the boots are cheaper and the profits are also lower.

The rich buy the 50₹ boot because they can afford it. The quality of material used is better, and the profits are higher.

This is not a socio economic disparity. This is the evolution of the market place.

So that's what this is about!!!

The above example is only limited to socioeconomic unfairness and doesn't apply to most consumer goods. The example ends there.

Someone quoted me this example to justify spending on expensive shit! This is utter lies and propaganda in the guise of quality, which pushes you to extend your budget and stay in poverty!

Most expensive goods which cost X times rarely last X times the duration or give you X times the value.
