Myth of the middle class: Most Americans don’t even have $1,000 in savings

Myth of the middle class: Most Americans don’t even have $1,000 in savings:

thisismeerkatable:

billiethepoet:

salon:

American politicians constantly speak of the middle class. Democrats, Republicans and even many independents all insist their policies defend it.

But what does it really mean? This question is rarely asked. What exactly is the middle class?

A new study suggests that the U.S. hardly even has one.

More than half of Americans — 56 percent, to be exact — have less than $1,000 combined in their checking and savings accounts, according to a recent survey, Forbes reported.

0.1% of Americans have as much wealth as the bottom 90%. It’s time to stop saying “middle class”; it does not exist

I spend a lot of time thinking about the differences between the middle class as an economic categorization and a social class.

I’ve also been thinking a lot about class issues in Making A Murder. There was definitely an element of “look how the system fucks these poor people” and I’ve read more than one article describing the Avery family as “very poor”. But they aren’t. They are small business owners. They’re probably doing better than the majority of Americans, as well as the majority of Mantiwoc county. Really, because of their family structure, they probably have a better inter-generational transmission of wealth than most people. They just didn’t have the social and cultural capital to present themselves as anything other than “poor” to an audience.

It’s a really disturbing “othering” of classes based on social acceptability rather than economic security. When you think about the “poor”, odds are that you’re in that group. When you think about the “poor”, remember that’s how most Americans live.

My father likes to say he’s poor when he isn’t. Not only does he make good money, but he has assets, including a house in a good neighborhood. My brother mentioned this study and my dad said that he has less than $1000 in savings which makes him poor like he’s always saying. Regardless of whether I believe that, it’s amazing how people who are incredibly well-off can convince themselves that they’re poor because they’re not as rich as the richest people. It’s such a forced perspective on wealth and life.

Steven Moffat is leaving Doctor Who!

Steven Moffat is leaving Doctor Who!:

dailydot:

hellotailor:

Steven Moffat, the longtime showrunner of Doctor Who, will step down after season 10.

The Radio Times revealed late Friday that writer Chris Chibnall has been tapped to take over in 2018.

Fans will already recognize Chibnall from his seven episodes of Doctor Who and his work as the co-lead writer of Torchwood, but he’s best known for creating the smash-hit crime drama Broadchurch, starring David Tennant and Olivia Colman.

Rickman rescues: 9 movies the actor elevated just by showing up

1. The Hitchhiker’s Guide To The Galaxy, “Marvin The Paranoid Android” (2005)

While the excellent-on-paper cast of the 2005 film was largely squandered, Alan Rickman’s voice portrayal of Marvin is one of the movie’s few saving graces: Profoundly glum and existentially exasperated, Rickman adds a sly twist of sardonic contempt to Adams’ iconic creation.

2. Dogma, “Metatron” (1999)

Smith wisely cast the Chasing Amy fan as Metatron, a seraphim who serves as the resolute voice of God (and what a voice!), while slyly dropping Karate Kid and Six Million Dollar Man references.

3. Robin Hood: Prince Of Thieves, “Sheriff Of Nottingham” (1991)

While much of Kevin Costner’s screen time is leaden and self-important, Rickman’s sneering, scenery-chewing over-the-top villain is the only person having any fun on screen.

Donald Trump talks at a fourth-grade level. Maybe that’s why the Fox News audience loves him

Donald Trump talks at a fourth-grade level. Maybe that’s why the Fox News audience loves him:

salon:

It’s a cliché to say that democratic states can’t function properly without an informed electorate. But it’s absolutely true. And this is why, heading into the 2016 election year, I’m nervous about the future. With Donald Trump leading the Republican presidential contenders, even many Republican die-hards are shaking in their boots.

But Trump isn’t the cause, just the symptom. The deeper cause is a strain of anti-intellectualism that runs through the roots of American culture. And while this strain is found on both sides of the political spectrum (see some liberals on vaccines and chemtrails), it’s mostly concentrated among religious conservatives on the political right. For those who espouse anti-intellectualism, conspiracy theories have the same clout as legitimate science, the opinions of non-experts are just as credible as those of the experts, and ideology takes precedence over the cold hard facts.

The culture of anti-intellectualism in America is fueling hateful, racist demagogues – in politics and on TV
