As the world enters the 10th year of economic growth, the American middle class is shrinking, stagnating, and becoming less secure. This comes as somewhat paradoxical since most Americans consider themselves to be middle-class. In a Pew survey, only 10 percent of Americans revealed that they consider themselves lower-class and a single 1 percent thought they were upper-class.
So all the economics, politics and whatnot aside, we are about to make a simple test to determine if you indeed belong to the somewhat sought-after middle class. Take your payslips back to the drawer, ‘cause we are about to scroll through the collection of memes that poke fun at middle-class households and people living in them.
Some people cringe and laugh, while others may feel personally attacked, or even insulted, so hey, it’s not me, it’s you who said they wanted to participate in a middle-class party! Thanks to the widely popular ‘Middle Class Fancy’ Instagram account which has 2.4M followers, there’s a lot of good ones to keep us entertained. Psst! More hilarious middle-class memes await in our previous post.

Experts and country representatives gathered for the World Economic Forum in 2017 to discuss the middle-class crisis. There are many reasons for the narrowing middle class in the world economy. Harvard professor Lawrence Summers explained that governments are focusing their attention on the poorer segments of the population, including immigrants.
As a result, the middle classes are feeling disenfranchised because they have a sense that the government is simply not looking out for them. “It’s a mistake not to recognize that the middle class in my country and in others is also concerned that the government isn’t fighting for it,” he adds. It may also have to do with the driving populism that’s been seen across developed countries in recent years.

Good Soup

Preferably a roll or large chunk. Too make it more realistic. According to Las Vegas shows at least. I love those... Cause it's fun and I'm not ashamed to admit it. Probably had something to do with the particular group of people I was with there too. Still fun. And bread is good!

All.the.time. When I wash my hands in super cold tap water? I'm in some indigenous tribe and it's coming straight from a glacier in the mountains. Small handwash? I'm a 45yo mother of 10 in the early 1900s on laundry day. Feeling adventurous and baking flat bread? 1000 bc middle eastern lady baking the hard earned daily bread on a hot flat stone in a fire. Yup. My kind of weird. Maybe it's time for me to try some LARPing.

Not sure why you’re being downvoted. Bread with soup is normal where I’m from. Soup without something to dunk in it is NOT normal. 😁

Soak the bread in the soup and stab the chunk of bread and lift it to your mouth?

I used to hike every Sunday....looking back it was much more for mental health and wellbeing than physical...I always used to take dry bread, hard cheese and dried fruit for my midway snack overlooking the view out to the sea.... made me feel like a travelling bard, nuthin but my lute on my back...

Jim Tankersley, the author of “The Riches Of This Land,” explains that strong middle classes breed political and social stability. According to him, a 2019 report from the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development concludes, citing several studies, that ‘societies with a strong middle-class experience higher levels of social trust but also better educational outcomes, lower crime incidence, better health outcomes and higher life satisfaction.’
