Is there some room to include the fact that the middle class has access to cutting edge technology - unprecedented medical advances - and incredible access to almost anything? College is expensive but full ivy league College courses are available for free online. Homeless people have cell phones (at least in America). Our society is more diverse than ever (and anywhere). Gay rights are at an all time high. Is it just about home prices?
Don't any of these other things matter when evaluating society?

- me_me_me 3y agoThe biggest problem that nobody talks about and the reason most collapses (or rather revolutions) happened was the grow to top layer of ruling class. Those who dont do anything but extract rents (as in get money for doing nothing). They siphon wealth from middle class, who has less and less wealth to sustain itself and prop up poor. The finance sector is not helping either as it generally doesnt create anything either + markets and ever more abstracted tools that create usless 'middle man' that again siphon wealth without creating anything. And on top of that you have corporate media that are doing everything to prevent class war, by creating cultural and propagating wars. This is putting immense strain on middle class who are tasked with pushing the wheels of the system, with less and less each year.
