The whole point of this (and a hundred other) articles is that the US is losing its "middle."

Increasingly, you are either rich or poor. A have or a have not. Most HN readers are haves or (because you are still young) think you will be haves. But life doesn't always turn out according to plan.




I can't express how much I agree to this - but with a small addition: The "middle" is disappearing in Europe also.

The most worrying thing is that if you put 95% of the people on a ship's back, it's going to sink; together with its front.


Not so with an iceberg, unfortunately.
