Re: POTUS 45.12: Dan, does it take courage when encountering the covfefe?

mookie would raise the bottom there, but really anything between 100k-250k is the US middle class now.

if anybody out there is trying to hold together a family with kids under 100k they are working poor.

Also, it greatly depends where you live. $75k might go a lot further in some places than others.

Happy 45th Anniversary to a 3rd rate burglary.

Mookie's frame of reference for that statement is Boston, and I'd agree it's probably true in many places on the East Coast for a family of 4. Also depends on your preferred lifestyle. If you insist on 3 family vacations a year, eat out a lot/shop at Whole Foods, and/or own a vacation home, then of course you're going to need to make a lot more than $100k

I disagree. But that's fine. Middle class is not the same as median income.
 
Re: POTUS 45.12: Dan, does it take courage when encountering the covfefe?

it is not a bell curve, correct. the upper class is small, quite small. the poor should be (in theory) the largest group - the working grunts. middle is, well between them.

does harvard and the other ivies allow free tuition now for families making 75k and less? that reads like a benefit for the poor to mookie, a group that can't afford to pay a single penny towards tuition.

That means you're saying that more than half of the people in this state are below middle class. This is a state that politicians like to call the bastion of education, and government-corporate cooperation. And the US median is less than that of MN.

Harvard's annual tuition sits over $60k, nominal, now. With an endowment fund larger than the total value of some small nations, they have a lot of face saving efforts to do in order to keep the masses of Southies from their gates with pitchforks in hand.

The English majors actually have a marketable skill. The other two, well... they're kind of like getting a B.A. in psychology and McD's French fry machine operation.
