My family’s household income is $250k a year but I promise you I am middle class
- fapjacks 11y agoBasically all this says is "I am rich compared to people in Michigan, but not rich compared to people in Palo Alto". Well, no shit! This is a close relative of how people outside the developed world view Americans. We are exorbitantly wealthy -- all of us -- when put against the standards of someone from the islands of the southern Philippines. But most Americans are actually not wealthy, when considering their circumstances.
- Cacti 11y agoThe rise of short, online "articles" like this is getting out of hand. Half the links I click on these days are little more than a few paragraphs that start to build only to abruptly end a few sentences later, little more than an intro. No depth, no research, not even time to build an argument never mind conclusions. I am starting to like top 10 lists and slideshows more, if only because there's no pretentiousness and narcissism except my own.
