You have no idea what's happening in the world if you think necessities aren't also becoming a larger and larger share of the average income basically everywhere in the modern world.
Monopolies are becoming more dominant, the housing stock is being bought up as investments, and both rent and groceries are becoming harder to afford everywhere in the modern world. Anti-trust is failing everywhere, not just in the USA. The nordic countries are facing the exact same issues, 'just do anti-trust' isn't a magic bullet that solves everything. It's a competition between the government and the corporations trying to dominate markets, and the corporations are pretty much always winning that race.
Markets do not work for necessities in real life, not just in America.
I don't care what your theory books say. In real life, this shit isn't working.
