I know a lot of older people who will continue to be hyperconsumers until their dying day. They are in constant battles with the cable/phone/etc. companies over fine-print terms they signed without reading. They are also overwhelmingly pro-Trump republicans. I fully expect all of them to be burned by this at some point in time, and I also expect about half of them to still find some way to blame it on Obama--even in the year 2020! I'd also like to second spectrum1234's comment. None of those things are really necessities. There are not enough hours in the day or enough gold in the world to sustain a government that attempts to protect people from their own stupidity.
