The stupid American conflation of the working class with the middle class is dead.

The middle class is the 80th-99th percentiles, in the middle between the capitalist class and the workers. It's not the group centered on the mode of the income distribution. The middle class manages the workers and gains professional training.

It's what we call the upper middle class and it's doing fine.

What politicians call the middle class is bifurcating. About 40% are seeing higher wages, and the bottom 60% are seeing lower wages.

In other words, the real middle class is gone since it is defined by income relative to the cost of living and goods. A worker bee in the 60s was middle class because he could afford a home, a car, stay at home wife, and a kid with his income. That was middle class, despite working a blue collar gig

No, the correct definition of the middle class is the class between the rich and the workers, that manages the economy.

The 1960s Affluent Society definition of "middle class" was always political happy talk.

Stop falling for consumerist bullshit. Class is about power relations, not going to the mall.

I'm anti-materialism bro. Money is important because you'll need it to survive and live a decent life.

NW up $50k in last 30 days, and $400k y/y. It’s been a bumpy ride in the middle class, especially because I don’t have a substantial wage income, but things still feel directionally correct.
