  • 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.

    Oh I’m good, been passively waiting to die for a while now and don’t have a violent bone in my body.

    When you disagree with the core concept of life and society/people there’s not much that would make life better. I’m done meeting people. Just tryna get through life as fast as possible and retire early then die.

    In my experience average pay is just above the peverty line in a given area. Most teachers make shit, especially for what they’re doing. And if the starting pay in your area is $30 the CoL is probably very high.

    Like yeah, they’re not homeless, but most people are barely getting by on the average wage in the area.

    I have a couple hobbies, and I do them high. I’ve never really wanted to do anything even before starting to smoke. Weed just makes a boring life slightly less boring and makes time pass faster. I’m honestly just tryna speed run life so I can die sooner.
