I know landlords that work way fucking harder than I do, and I have a "real job". I get that a lot of landlords are assholes but in the end this is the system and some are playing the game as fairly as they can (being reasonable, very rarely raising rent, attending to maintenance themselves and in a timely manner) while others are cheating (not maintaining the property, raising rent, forcing tenants to sign burdensome leases, etc). Stop lumping them together.

No like paying taxes. Like going to jail when they break the law. Like levying income-based fines.

You're directing your anger at the wrong people. Pretty fucking irrational to me

Yeah the real way to fix capitalism is to hate people with 20% more money than you. Great plan.

You're right, and this idiot is falling for the rich people's bullshit 100%.

What a useless bullshit excuse to be hateful and averse to any actual solution whatsoever

Yeah if you can afford $400 tickets, camping supplies, and transportation you're absolutely a part of the 1% /s

All that you're doing here is contributing to infighting within your own class, which is what actual rich people want -- for you to focus your attention anywhere but on them. Hate the 1% if you want but more importantly demand they be treated like the rest of us.

That's what $100K is. This thread is fucking trash.

Yeah shitty people are definitely everywhere, but I've had a lot of interactions that indicate the ratio is much better here than other online communities.

This thread kinda shattered that feeling. I don't think most people being huge assholes about this know anything except that they hate rich people. Rich people? Anyone with more money than them. They don't care if you have $1000 more in your bank account or $1000000000 more than they have. Apparently anyone "rich"-er is all the same person

All these people making piles of assumptions that if Elon Musk went once, everyone there must be a rich piece of shit, just makes me want to go even more just to spite them.

I know there's a lot I don't know about it, but what I do know is that for most who go it's about art and being free to express themselves. Really strange how much hate people have for something they likely haven't the first goddamned clue about

TIL if you make enough to save a bit of money in a medium size city, you're rich scum, morally equivalent to people who make 1,000,000 your salary and give none of it to charity.

Way to confirm you're actually as bad or worse than any of them morally. 👍

Yeah God forbid an atheist turns elsewhere for making sense of life. Anyone who does that is scum worthy of a gas chamber or something /s

This thread is wild. I suspect most of you who seem completely positive you're right to judge thousands of people and what they deserve would be very indignant and angry if someone lumped you in with a category of people you somehow are tangentially related to.

It's kind of depressing. I thought Lemmy wasn't a wasteland of humanity like reddit was, but if I was only going by this thread I'd have to conclude it definitely is not a damned bit better than reddit.

Your blatant classism and lack of normal empathy aside, can you provide evidence that most people at burning man are "rich"?

The richest people on earth attending doesn't actually mean a single goddamned thing about it. Other than they want to be seen as "cool"...

Or it's very important to you and you saved all year. What a weird assumption

True I guess. I guess I should have added the caveat "takes large teams of people years to design and build". Given that most sports equipment has changed slowly enough it doesn't take 500 people 5 years to make, it's not quite comparable. Another creative work would be, such as movies, which easily are far far more expensive for the number of hours of enjoyment experienced

Since everything I'm aware of that they've cancelled is free software, I'm curious what products you are talking about

I can't help but think about this from time to time: it is a series of curses on humanity that instead of being some miserable failure as a businessman who would only end up conning a few dozen people before committing suicide due to awareness of the scum that they are, he somehow instead became a celebrity and then a cult leader turned fucking president.

The absolute shittiest timeline.
