To the extent that "class" is a proxy for the societal power that one wields, it is preposterous to ignore actual income in favor of self-selected cultural signifiers such as trucks and clothing.

I mean the difference between working class and middle class does have cultural elements to since there are blue collar jobs that pay extremely well and white collar jobs that don't. But yeah this is really outdated and reductive.

To point I was recently offered an IT job that payed less than what I made as entry level Amazon warehouse picker.

Well that is the case, mostly. But people Taibbi will be sneaky with that and moralize cultural signifiers in a way that can only make sense by defining class in terms of income

Given that the majority of the US workforce in fact work in service and support industries that don't fall in the Blue/White collar dichotomy at all (often considered a lower tier altogether if considered) one wonders what the use of that distinction even is.

In some ways, being a collar worker of *any* type would qualify one as a. 'Elite' if you think about it compared to, say, retail workers, medical support staff, etc. who can't really be said to occupy any kind of collared profession and get zero respect from the overall economy.
