All of that is true, even in the US. It is a false narrative that the "middle class is collapsing" in the US There is a very narrow band, and very specific regions in the US where that is true unfortunately for the the rest of us the people and regions where this is the reality those people hold outsized control over the media, and government so it gives the appearance it is a universal reality.

What Antony Davies fails to account for is the rising cost of housing, and a college education, and he compares us to 100 years ago, which is a nice round number, but the living standard I want to revisit is the 1950's, minus the out-of-control racism and sexism and abuse. By that time electricity was ubiquitous, washing machines were prevalent, people had cars, and college and housing was still affordable for the middle class. By the 1960's, central air condition was being designed into homes.
