Unless you’re over 50 you’re not going to “retire”, the planet was already destroyed and this hell isn’t going to last another 30 years lol.

bullshit can 35% of americans retire, absolute bullshit

This tracks… “middle class” is an income band encompassing those who fall between 2/3 and 200% of median. The US is a terribly unequal society where something like 40% of the population falls within this band, with high degrees of wage compression near/at subsistence-level… the distribution of those within the technical "middle class skew to the low end of the range. Because poverty is best conceived in relative versus absolute terms, it’s fair to say that the “Middle America/the average person” in the US lives in poverty.

No one has a “secure job” btw

Feel free to believe your job is secure all you want, but when the stock market dips or your soulless company wants to take in more profits, workforce reductions affect everyone

“Middle class” is a term used by other working class people with puritanical brain rot who just want to distance themselves from the poor as much as possible
