[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Folks were discussing this today on a new thread, which is (rightly) locked with folks routed here.

I just read the article. The big thing that struck me is that the Cressel family is LMC, if middle class at all. I don't think it makes sense to use them as an example of the "middle class" being squeezed out of Disney. [/quote]

Literally dead-on national median household income, don't live in a high cost area, but please tell us how that isn't "middle".[/quote]

The elephant in the room is that “median income” no longer means middle class. Through many bad policy choices, we’ve gone back to having a pyramid style income distribution where the majority of people [b]are just degrees of poor.[/b] [/quote]

Yet, we live in bigger houses, have more appliances and electronic devices, eat more abundantly, have more entertainment options, live longer, attend college at higher rates, etc.  Sorry, but your impressions don't match the data.[/quote]
