It's funny how they keep referring themselves as middle class, why they don't realize that they just became what it has been always called proletariat.

Moridin920 posted:honestly I'm pretty sure having a household income of $80k a year baaarely qualifies as middle class unless you live in the middle of the country where everything is cheap as dirt. my STEM friend was trying to tell me he was upper middle class making $75k/yr and I laughed at him and told him he was 1 emergency medical procedure away from being bankrupt. 75k a year is pretty nice... in rural Georgia.

I'm planning on paying off the mortgage on my starter flat asap, then just chilling. gently caress moving to a bigger place like you're supposed to do, like having an enormous mortgage is a loving status symbol or something. In fact, i might just go unemployed and be all "i already own my place outright; what you gonna do to me, eh?  "

A number of very rich Progressives have made issues with healthcare or else tens of millions more people would have signed up for Socialized Medicine. The people who are all for it keep delaying and remade it about 47 times, and it still is not implemented. This has been going on for years now. It is going to cost over a trillion when it was promised to save money. Socialism fails when its adherents refuse to implement it.

Edit- or cardstock crates of piss beer, or box wine sold like printer paper at the door of the liquor store, it all depends on the region. The short answer is "stimulants and booze".
