Comment on What will happen to large companies once poor people have no more money to use?

Na fuck that, it’s always middle class this and middle class that and the fact is the middle class couldn’t give a fuck about the cashier at Costco living paycheck to paycheck with no Healthcare or enjoyment in their life.
I have solidarity with every worker but as soon as the middle class gets theirs they will abandon us.

Everyone in America is middle class. You can be lower middle class or upper middle class, but you’re never not middle class.

We are all working class.

People who work full-time jobs used to be middle class. Living wages, affordable housing, yearly vacations, etc. Now, working people are still in poverty.

When?
Do you call camping in a campground a “family vacation” ? because that’s as far as my family had growing up in a pensioned job. We never could afford air travel, fancy new TVs, new cars… our house was very basic, we always drove beaters, we spent years without one thing or another to make it work.
This isn’t the current generation, or the last one, this was even earlier.
Just trying to understand when this idea that anybody in any job could have the white picket fence and world class quality of life. I don’t think that’s ever been the case for the poorest full time workers or even the bottom 50%.

I would…
Sure, we never had the latest and greatest, fixed stuff ourselves and such, but we lived in a home that my parents owned and never really wanted for anything. That, to me, feels like a middle-class upbringing, and is what I’d like to be able to provide my own kids when I have them. However, right now the prospect of owning my own home seems increasingly far-fetched.

Campgrounds are everywhere and one in under a 2 hour drive is very doable throughout your whole life for a family vacation. You won’t lose access to that.
Housing costs will swing back. We’re around the point where we were in the last housing market crash. Prices are at the edge of affordability for the middle class. Mortgages are higher than what can be rented. One market course correction and a ton of people lose their houses and the market collapses again.
They’re doing everything they can to try and stop the collapse but homes are still increasing in price way more quickly than wages. Just a matter of time.
