Maybe Full House is a bad example. I always thought of upper class being stuff like Fresh Prince.

I caught a little bit of Hannity while driving in my car, and he once again brought up the "93 million people out of the workforce". Where is he getting that number? Counting elderly, underaged, retired, medically disabled all as that? And he's maybe not wrong on a technicality, but 93 million unemployed would be like 30% of the country and that's pretty clearly not the case.

(See table 1.) Of this group, 38.5 million people reported retirement as the main reason for not working. About 16.3 million people were ill or had a disability, and 16.0 million were attending school. Another 13.5 million people cited home responsibilities as the main reason for not working in 2014, and 3.1 million individuals gave “other reasons.”

Count every human being breathing in the U.S. who doesn't have a regular job as "out of the workforce." Which isn't necessarily a bad way to measure the status of the economy, but most people don't know what number would indicate a healthy economy.

FuzzySkinner posted:https://m.reddit.com/r/EnoughTrumpS...ct&compact=true Wow, it has just been a lovely month for Milo, and by that I mean a good month for common decency. Hopefully this wakes a few of his "fans" up to what a soulless creep he is, but it probably won't--I can't be assed to have faith in my generation anymore. Interesting thing about Milo too: he got a shoutout on Maddow last night in the midst of her reporting on the Trump Campaign/Breitbart fusion dance that happened yesterday. She highlighted a number of horrible things Breitbart was responsible for over just the last year, and nestled in amongst them was Milo siccing his Twitter hate mob on Leslie Jones and getting perma'd for it. All without ever mentioning his name. It must have just sent him into a quiet self-loathing "I'm not owned! YOU'RE OWNED!" tizzy when someone finally told him about it.

TheBigAristotle posted:Breitbart is doing its best: But I think the best thing to do with Milo is just ignore him wholesale. If you read a story about him, just ignore it. Don't even bother reading it. He thrives on attention good or bad. He's making a scene in the high school cafeteria every day and everyone reacts to him until they realize that's what he wants. Just ignore.

CopywrightMMXI posted:Look at Roseanne's contemporaries - shows like Family Matters or Full House. Those shows were supposed to depict the middle class. You never saw them worrying about bills or expenses. Shows like Roseanne, Married With Children and The Simpsons were all meant to depict the lower class and the struggles they faced. Lots of poo poo has changed since then though. Next up: goons argue the housing market in New York was cheap in the '90s because a barista could afford a 10,000 sq ft apartment base on the documentary "Friends".

I think what we'll really do is get this thread back on track. lovely ideas about class division notwithstanding. Matt Walsh Facebook posted:This is not the kind of thing I usually post about, but I felt compelled to write it because I was really moved and distressed by the story of the alligator in Florida killing that two year old boy. I couldn't stop thinking about it today, for some reason. And then when I saw social media -- particularly Twitter -- once again flooded with people offering their criticisms and "helpful" suggestions to parents who've just suffered a tragedy, I couldn't help but give a response. Okay, now imagine that instead of an alligator... it was a cop, and instead of playing in a pond, he was shot for wearing a hoodie while walking home from the movies. What kind of reaction do you think Matt Walsh would give?

Malcom in the Middle was the truest struggle of middle class. The episode where they do a retrospective on each of Lois's pregnancies is heartbreaking. When it comes to Dewey's, they're on the point of breaking up over the pregnancy.

Attacking a former employee by asking if she's capable of overcoming her old biases, the ones they considered a benefit when she worked for them, to report on just how horrible the candidate who's campaign they are now running is kind of surreal, even for Brietbart. Being aware of their evil makes me hate them even more than I already did.

"She can't be a real journalist because she used to work for us and we're complete propaganda frauds!" is the sort of statement that really should ward off sane people, agreed. Fortunately for Brietbart, neither their viewers or people aspiring to work for them are the sort of people to be convinced by something unless they print it themselves. RareAcumen posted:

The Simpsons are broke and straight up poor when it's needed for a plot/joke and they're comfortably middle class when that's needed instead. There are tons of poor families in this country who only manage to have one working parent, and still have two cars (I'll also note that it's a frequent joke int he Simpsons that neither car they have is new or really any good, which is really common among the actually poor as well).
