    I’ve discovered over the years that middle class people have absolutely no idea how most of the country lives.

      Well, most people think they are middle class.

        Yeah but some of that “working class” has a house, regular medical care, vacations, savings, etc.

        That’s different than people living paycheck to paycheck, paying rent, praying, googling, and biohacking for their medical needs for lack of doctor access, never having been outside their own state or city, nor had the PTO to travel or relax in decades.
