  • I’m sure some middle class people can afford to go to burning man. But you’re being wilfully ignorant if you think burning man isn’t catered to the rich. It’s almost purely a status symbol event. It’s definitely where people go to show off their lavish wealth and take pictures for Instagram. I’m pretty sure if they took a survey 80%+ would be wealthy people.

    I’m middle class, and I’m spending a couple hundred dollars on my holiday this week, I almost can’t fathom spending thousands living in a tent in a desert.

    But you’re right, the middle class has been eroded. What was considered middle class in 1970 would be rich today. That’s just because most people are worse off financially.

















  • Unfortunately, that’s really not how it works. The masses don’t care. Just like Netflix profits increased after the crackdown, most people just use the Reddit app and don’t give a fuck.

    Tbh, with how small lemmy is, it’s really not got much draw for most people. I still miss the long conversations and multiple comments. I’ve only seen like 50 comments on here at best.
