it's usually simpler than that. conservatives pay more than liberals.
i know a few leftists who have now gone hard right... because they got paid more to spout conservative conspiracy nonsense than they did liberal/socialist stuff.
instances are just distinct servers really.
and some of them are purpose/politics specific.
there is also more diverse content than the crap that was on here six months ago.
when 50% of the frontpage is linux memes... you're not going to gain the interest of most new users. now it seems to be down to about 20%
having family help isn't the american dream. that's the aristocratic dream, where land is only owned by the wealthy who inherit it.

exactly. empathy is the ability to realize other people have different experiences than you. to think about what it's actaully like to be homeless.

You are missing the point.
It's not about your shop. It's about everyone making their own furniture... which doesn't scale and isn't feasible.
Then you'd be wrong. Vast majority of people have financial aid/loans. 85%, in fact.
My office has quite a few fresh grads who own their own places.
Their parents bought it for them for a graduation present.
Bernie is the model of what a politician should be. And about the only one left in the USA that gives a fuck about actual justice and truth.

All you really need is wealthy parents. That way you never have to have any debt and get exploited by the credit system and can live your life glib and clueless and wondering why other people are so lazy and poor and didn't work hard like you.
Inflation is fine as long as wages rise with it.
The issue is our economy is entirely built around low interest rates and low inflation. It's been that way for a generation. This benefit asset-holders like home owners and the wealthy. Hence why they are doing everything possible to avoid wage-growth. They don't care about inflation, what they are terrified of is wage growth and higher interest rates.
the reality is that incompetent managers love to blame their employees for not doing shit they never told them to do.
