Exactly. People need to remember that $100k in 2023 is different than $100k in 2003.

They don’t realize that they’re falling right into the trap of class infighting. You can absolutely make $150k and still be a “working class family” in certain areas of the US in 2023. These aren’t the people we should be focusing on.
