    I think the problem is lemmy is so privileged that none of you have ever known any actual poor people, which is the group benefiting most from Bidens economy. The middle class (which is what all you people are, no you’re not “working class”, that’s not a thing, you’re middle class) is about the same. The upper class is slightly worse off, but they started so far ahead it’s difficult to tell that without looking at the stats.

      Oh please, do get off your high horse. My entire family is poor as shit and everyone is struggling. Also, “upper”, “middle”, “lower”, all just words meant to divide this working class you disavow against itself against the capitalist class.

      If you work to earn your living instead of letting your investments do it for you, you’re working class.

        Exactly, so the single mom struggling on $12k/yr and the corporate executive making $5 million/yr are both “working class”. It’s such a broad category it’s useless, except to provide cover for people making a lot of money who want to pretend they’re poor.

        Easy:

        Dear Semi-Hemi-Lemmygod’s boss. There is no such thing as “working class”. It’s a useless distinction. Thank you.
