Middle class wages, adjusted, start at $83.17/hr. If you're making less than that and call yourself middle class you're only fooling yourself. There's a reason you're not told what that line is.

"Middle class" was a (very successful) psyops campaign to get people to stop thinking in terms of 'working class' vs 'owning class'

Never assume I know anything. I’m famously stupid.
