Nearly everyone in the US considers themselves to be middle class. It's not common to self-identify as working class since that means you can't be a temporarily embarrassed millionaire.
Anything between 20-120k/year is some flavor of "middle class" to the people earning it, especially because people tend to self-sort into socioeconomic groups where they'll always have a personal reference for "lower-middle" class people who earn slightly less than they do and "upper-middle" class people who earn slightly more.

Unfortunately Virgil's ignorant slander of clean, efficient electrical trains in favor of smoke belching diesel will. Not. Stand.

So then a doctor earning $200,000 a year is upper class? That seems weird to me, I think of the Vanderbilts or Kennedys or some other insanely wealthy and powerful clan of creeps when I think of an American upper class, not well paid professionals.

Pretty sure working class just means getting paid by the hour or day or by piece work as opposed to a salary.

Those people have a stranglehold on smaller communities though. 200k isn't poo poo in NY or SF, but in 90% of America, you get a giant house and a decent amount of political sway if you want it. Vanderbilts and Kennedys are the 1%/.1%/.01% ruling class

First of all, bear in mind that a doctor making $200,000 is in the 6th percentile, even assuming their salary is the entire household income and they have no investment or other income. But that's a good question because working class status also concerns things like your working conditions and precarity, and medicine is a profession that's shifting more and more from employer to employed.

By the way, where does the Dry Boy thing really come from? Because I listened to all the free episodes, I'm working my way through the premium ones (currently somewhere around 55, I just let the playlist run) and this is not a thing outside of Felix's weird multifaceted persona.

Personally those types are just the elites, or what have you. With the destruction of the middle class for the past 40 years the terms have changed. A lot of people think they are middle despite being relatively poor. Also a lot of rich think they are middle despite making a poo poo ton of money but not quite enough.

The pic above is one of the better ones of Will. Some angles he looks like Billy from Venture Bros.

dividing people into classes isn't very useful anyway, it's all just a sliding scale of economic disparity, either you're super hosed or slightly less hosed
