- akiselev 4y agoI still think it's useful to separate out the working middle/upper class from the true "aristocracy" (for lack of a better word). A professional in the middle class can save up and buy property until they can live off passive income to become upper class but that's a different class from the people who can fund their life styles through financial arbitrage by the sheer size of their wealth.

Reading myself write it it sounds sarcastic but nearly everyone is so damn poor they need someone to support them just to have a roof over their heads. Shelter is exactly the word in how temporarily it all is. You show documents to demonstrate how likely it is you will be able to pay for it some time in the future. Odds that will happen are not good at all. We also get food subsidies or we wouldn't be able to eat properly. Oh, and we also do all of the work on this planet. We do it to demonstrate how well behaved and civilized we are. Very obedient subjects.
