The title, is accurate, and meaningful. The top 10% of the planet is feeling squeezed out.
I disagree with the second part. In my experiences I've come to believe most of my peers who range in between 150ish -400 + rsu mostly think about when can they retire and maintain their life styles. And for most of my peers live pretty upper middle class lives. Living well but not particularly lavishly.
And we/they know that. We're near the top, we have it best, but it certainly doesn't feel wealthy. More like, not fighting for literal survival.
The outage in this thread is just a perfect example of how every social media site ends up being a rage bait echo chamber.
If you retired today on a million dollars, you'd have income of 40k and that's before taking into account future inflation. Nothing about that screams rich or wealthy. 2.5-3M will net you what you need to retire middle class in the US.
Everyone in here screeching angrily that the middle class is being squeezed but they used millionaires so fuck em right?
As dumb as raw milk.
