I went to buy a mask today. The cheap one was retailing for Rs 16. The expensive reusable one, was for Rs 200.
If you go out frequently and you are rich, you buy the 200 rs Mask
The poor have no choice. They buy one mask per day, Depending on earnings
The poor guy's mask spend however, is Rs 480. Even on reuse, the spend is 240.
The poor have two choices, either they spend 240% more or compromise and spend 20% more than a rich guy
For the same mask
