“Progressive theorists, such as Ruy Texerira, have suggested that, in the evolving class structure, the traditional middle and working class is of little importance compared to the rise of a mass “upper middle class” consisting largely of professionals, tech workers, academics, and high-end government bureaucrats.”
Until your toilet backs up.
Yep. Try calling Google on that one.
“Until your toilet backs up.”
LOL. Very well stated. Cuts through all the fluff of that crappy statement.
Mike Rowe of Dirty Jobs has been talking about how much many skilled trade jobs / blue collar jobs now pay because a whole generation went to college and took low wage office jobs. From diesel technicians to CNC programmers to running the robots, you make 40K, 50K or even 100K for some dirty, demanding positions. It is a middle class income for less schooling than a 4 year degree, but kids think it is unacceptable or untenable.
