I've never been middle class as an adult. I believe I am what's known as is "dirt fucking poor."

A more objective way to describe class differences is working class versus capitalist class.
There's no such thing as "middle class". It's a completely imaginary and subjective categorization used to destroy class solidarity.
If "middle class" means anything at all, it's the difference between a living wage and poverty. But capitalist news will never phrase it in these terms.

What's above middle class?

The real answer is either upper middle or upper, depending on the scale that's being used. With how Lemmy has been going lately, I think the answer you'll get is "food". So, the accepted answer, I guess, is up to you.

Parasite class.

Just pick a name and a subjective measure. It's all a distraction anyway.

How can someone be in the same socioeconomic class with someone who makes $100k more than them per year? Both of those people cannot be middle class whatever that means anymore
-
Because $100k isn't that much money.
Yes it would be a world of a difference for me and many line me, but if you compare to the amount of money out there and the amount of people, it's not a large difference. Especially when considering the wage gap shifting classes apart.

I'm no expert, but this seems like it's either bs or based on irrelevant class (sub(sub(sub)))boundaries.
Are they saying above the figures they state is upper class?
\ (And like, eg quite a few of the police force are therefore upper class?)So, by this article (if I understand it correctly) middle class can afford a modest house, a family vacation or two per year, some cars & even a few savings? And this description isn't of the lower class, it's for the middle class?
\ So lower class is just there to work (the same amount of labour as the middle & top class) and think about their life choices (mostly pre-made for them)?Are we really not trying to evolve our societies?

Are we really not trying to evolve our societies?
No. And as you point out, they're not even trying to have an honest discussion about objective reality.
