      So everybody who runs a mom and pop shop or runs their own small little independent store is now part of the bourgeoisie and elite like Elongated Muskrat and Jeffrey Bezos?

          You could hide somewhere until the dealership closes then sneak out when everyone leaves

          The gaps in the fuckin body panels would be be a perfect hideaway

        Eh… It depends on how you apply the definition to modern times. As literally defined: yes. They are business owners and merchants.
        However, realistically they are much, much closer to the proletariot as these people are also exploited by the Musks and Bezoses and there isn’t really much of a middle class anymore. On top of this they don’t hold any actual power politically which is an important part of being in the bourgeoisie.

        This is how i understand it all, anyway. Feel free to correct me.
