While I don't think you're wrong, they are talking about different things. One is how you're doing despite being working class. Are you a making it? Keeping your head above water? A dentist or engineer making $250k+? Do you struggle to eat or clean yourself every day?
The other is how do you make your money. Do you work for it or do you exploit for it. Were you simply born into it?
People see themselves through a bias filter. Doesn't make it true. People don't like to call themselves lower class even when they are. Especially when they were probably raised middle class, because that paints a picture of failure.
If you struggle with rent or groceries you are lower class. If you're making minimum wage you're lower class.
If you struggle to pay rent or buy groceries you're lower class.
There's a middle class. They are the ones that don't need the assistance.
The vast majority of the lower class however cling on to defining themselves as middle class for some reason.
I just hate all their separate OSes. I'd buy an iPad pro if it ran osx. I'd buy this thing if it ran osx. I'm not buying a powerful $3k computer that can only run apps.

If they wanted DD2 to do better, why didn't they make it a better game?
Or a steam deck with passive cooling and a 12 hour battery life.
Those thicker bags suck, it's just even more plastic. That's what California just banned and I'm so happy.
They're on their own. Pretty sure Texas likes the poison.
If they don't just tell them you need help to your car.
That's not a definition of middle class at all. If you live in your car you're lower / poverty class.
