It’s bad, ie rents keep rising, groceries keep rising, gas keeps going up. Average wages don’t. But at the same time we have lots of people with plenty of money, moms with time to walk their kids to the parks on a Tuesday afternoon… Plenty of people are making plenty of money. It’s just that if you aren’t one of those it’s pretty difficult.

Younger peeps are just living with roommates or shacking up to make it work. But they aren’t living in vans en mass, or something.

Not really meaning for this to sound as arrogant as it’s going to, but… Lemmy is almost entirely populated by nerds so far.

Nerds tend to be open to tech, maybe a little smarter overall. You know? You can tell by the grammar, the spelling. It’s a different group here.

Reality is left leaning, and the stupider someone is, in general, the more likely they are to lean right politically. The rest of the right are the really rich, who tend to be up the psychological spectrum toward sociopathic, so of course they would have no time for caring for others’ needs.
