This is your reminder that in the 90s Homer Simpson and Al Bundy were considered absolute bottom of the barrel losers, and they both had stable jobs, owned their own homes, multiple cars, and raised multiple children on a single income.
They were not considered the bottom of the barrel losers. They were considered America’s middle class. Or working class depending on how you wanna say it. With Al being the high school football star who had peaked in high school fucking the cheerleader who ended up getting pregnant and here we are it’s just that story. But that’s not bottom of the barrel loser. That’s just a funny joke on what ends up happening to people that peak in high school. I don’t remember home ever being considered a bottom of the barrel loser. I think it Makes more sense saying he was considered extremely obese when now that’s not considered all that fat. Homer was a small business owner. He had a good job.
No, I was there when the beasties were boyd. That was white man loser. Anyone with less was extremely unemployable; hardcore drug addict, very mentally impaired, etc. Used to be, you could just work at Burger King and easily have a couple of shit cars and a shit house after a few years. In the 50s you could get those at the very start of the shit job, and they were new. Then, after a few years you could buy a second property on a river or lake.
The ultra-wealthy hyperclass has been able to shift our focus away from taxing their wealth and make us point our fingers at each other, instead of look up and see the boot from below.

This is also a reminder that fictional characters should not be used to gauge metrics of real life.

Again, white men only though.

A tale as old as history itself.
They must love identity politics.
