I am aware of this, anticipated this response from you (as you’ve repeated in this thread), and addressed it at the end of the comment you’re replying to. I do not believe that a global perspective diminishes the argument in any way.
If that doesn't qualify it as a product only available to the elites, I don't know what will...
Heck, in 2000, just under 30% of the global population had access to properly built sanitation services.
And about 28% of the global population live with under a $1 (in PPP) per day.
Respectfully, I think you are lacking some context about life in other countries.
I’m not though, and I have already said so. My original “poverty is a spectrum” comment still firmly addresses everything you’ve said, so if we still disagree, we can agree that’s ok.
