    Middle class is gone. You’re either extremely rich, or you’re down in the dirt with us poors.

    If you’re not sure which camp you’re in, welcome to the fold.

      Meh it’s all semantics. I consider myself middle class and I make almost 200$k a year. I have more in common with the homeless guy at the go train station than I do with the CIO of my company.

      I wish more people were this way. It’s why I still prefer taking public transit. It grounds me. I’d rather be around people struggling to get by than those who have never known what it’s like to put hotdogs in your mac & cheese.

      Edit - and to people going I’m rich. Im divorced and have 3 kids of which 2 are on the spectrum. I am living comfortably but if I lost my job I’m in the same boat or worse than some of you. I live modestly and do more than anyone may think to support as many people as I can.
