4) Middle class: Stuck in smaller home with kids, grandparents, & an odd hanger on they picked up along way. Most still have to work daily & are being exposed to virus. Lots of bills coming due 5) Lower Middle Class: Same. But smaller home. More people. More bills coming due

6) Working class: Working bringing stuff to all of above. On farms, in factories producing food, in trucks delivering food. As janitors in hospitals, as cops, as firefighters, at post office. Keeping shit running. Getting exposed every day. Come home to house filled & frustrated.

7) Poor: Trying to work, but nothing. Trying to quarantine, maybe. But they got little space, lots of obligations & tons of bills coming. 5th floor walk up with one bathroom & 9 people. Shit getting frustrating. Bodega running low & over-priced anyhow. Can't stock up. Fuck this

8) Very poor: In shelters, public housing, on streets, or section 8. Everything closing & no place to go to hang and get warm or clean up. Or place to escape the fucking crap going down in the shelter. Walk outside and it is martial law. Cops with masks. End times are coming.

Thanks for all the nice comments (and the not so nice). I wrote a book about poverty in America. Also. If you are getting deliveries, don't forget to tip very well!https://www.amazon.com/Dignity-Seeking-Respect-Back-America/dp/0525534733/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr= …

1) is wrong — they’re inhabiting that house from Ex Machina. Also, definitely 3) right now. But in the desert Texas town my mother grew up in. Doesn’t make us local even if I’ve known a handful of people since childhood.

Desert Texas is like the best part of US!

Would you be #2?

Yep. But I have only one home. And I have been here 8 years

This is too accurate. As a 3, there’s certainly recession anxiety and we don’t have FU $, but also some guilt that we can still do our white collar jobs and get our WC paychecks from home, while so many people have real adversity. Also lots of baking with expensive nut flours.

I empathize a lot with 3; especially since a group of them don't have parents in 1 or 2, but far lower. Also. The path higher is now much harder
