He was a small business owner. I don't think she described herself as poor, but think that upper middle class is a stretch, too.
The interesting thing is that a lot of her supporters have turned on her, I think largely over the Amazon deal that she rejected.
Quote:upper middle class is a stretch, too.
upper middle class in the usa is someone with several houses
a basic net worth of around 25 to 50 million
a yearly income of around 2 to 5 million
basic working class are financialy classed as below poverty line in the basic class system of financial class.
the majority USA working class are only 2 pay cheques away from bankruptcy.
im pro radical mind sets for climate change policy considering that only the most radical seem to be capable of creating a tiny positive change.
the message must be considered radical to all those whom dont wish to change how they live.
plastic production
red meat
gas emissions
etc etc
all those who are attempting to force no change are going against evolution and labeling such policy as extreme to prevent adaptation.
that which does not evolve becomes extinct

Do you want to hear some of the random shit that runs through my head? It’s a dark-dark place.
What is darkness? Does it exist? Is it the absence of light? Is it blocked, e.g. shadows? Is it absorption, e.g. vantablack absorbs 99.9%?
What is the speed of darkness? Is it the same as the speed of light?
The entire image behind a prism is displaced—the shadows and even the color black.
Does darkness move? Is it displaced? Is it dispersed? Does absorption occur through the prism or behind the looking glass?
i like your thoughts
amazon are facing some serious possible regulation issues coming very soon
this is going to cost them a lot of money(no where near 3 billion dollars)
they have reached a market saturation point with global tariff wars and middle man sales processes where the global market will become extremely more lower price competitive.
it would be foolish(complete insanity) to throw 3 billion US$ of working class tax money into short term race to the bottom price wars in the retail online shopping market.
how many buildings do you need to build to fit in 25,000 staff into the centre of new york ?
how long will it take to build those buildings ?
where will they put them ?
clever strategic busines move by amazon.
but they stand to lose a lot by turning their company into a political party.
long term bad move by making this a war between amazon and the working class job market.
far better move, building their own business park somewhere with a new build 2 level eco-smart main line that can transit suburban citizens to their work place.
very poor strategic move by whom ever is running this amazon thing.
saveable ?
sure
by bringing AOC on board politically in the idea of building something that children will be able to work in in 15 years time and does not create more traffic over crowding of already over crowded transit systems.
it looks like amazon management may have been taken over by profit leveraging merchants instead of ground breaking innovators.
