Death To The Middle Class
Tuesday, August 30, 2022 12:16 AM
No I don’t want that to happen but let’s face it - the majority of people on here are what would be considered middle or “upper” middle class, and all I read about is how these people are the ones getting fucked the most in todays economy. Why then you say?
Lower wage workers have had their pay increase significantly while most middle class or white collar workers have seen their pay stay stagnant - affecting them the most when everything costs more.
Everyone wants to work at home especially during COVID and especially the middle class as many of them have jobs that can be worked from home. Not many corporations are saying “why do we need all these white collars workers / management now?” Proof? Ford Motor Co just laid off 3,500 white collar workers to trim costs.
It’s something I’ve said before, all these people I know ran out and bought boats, RVs, shiny big new SUVs with the little money they saved during COVID, now are having trouble keeping up with it costing double to fill their gas tank, flights are double to go on those vacation trips, and biggest of all those grocery store trips are costing double. The result? Higher end retailers like Nordstroms and Saks are composing that customers aren’t even buy the shit on the clearance racks now.
Who do you think?
