Social media seems to be laughing its ass off about this tragedy, is it because the folks at burning man are perceived as frivolous hippies or something? Everyone I’ve ever met who was a regular burning man attendee has been a solid human being with strong morals, personally and financially responsible, a career. Upstanding members of society for sure. I guess all some people know is the sensationalized drugs and sex. A person died. This is a tragedy for an event that brings positivity into the world. Kind of annoyed.

    call me a skeptic but I doubt there is someone here with a million dollar mortgage and multiple cars that’s just sitting around, reading lemmy.

    Like what, they’re reading a thread on lemmy on the way to a business meeting in their private car?

    Like who are you really yelling at.

      That’s the “I’m totally middle class” bullshit that keeps popping up here. The average home price in a lot of cities is inching closer to $1M.

      And yes, they’re on lemmy. Especially the tech workers, who probably do the least amount of work per dollar in human history.
