KJ5ILQ returning. Thank you KC2PKG. Yeah, there is different classes. Like George said, you can't deny it. You just can't. The easiest way to illustrate a class system in the United States is you take Bill Gates and compare him to me. I guess use me as an example. I mean they are two different classes. Very easy to determine that there is a class system everywhere in the world, not just in the United States. And depending on where you live, the class system is different. So British or UK class system is different than what our class system in the United States is. And that's different than the one in India like we were talking about before. So I'm going to speak about what I think about America, about the United States. And there is the common three class model system. And I know a lot about classes. There is this particular thing because I actually had to write a big paper in college a few years back on it. So you do have your upper, middle, and lower class. That's what we're all familiar with. Upper class, the rich. The middle class, I would consider myself middle class. And then you have the lower class, the poor and the poor. But the social economic models have changed a lot in the past 100 years. So you no longer just have an upper, middle, or lower class. Now you have an upper class that has upper class and upper and lower class. So you have old money and new money is a good way to put it. The middle class is similar. I mean you have the working class which is upper middle class which is highly educated professionals. Like I said before, doctors and lawyers and such. Then you have the lower middle class which is semi-professionals, skilled class people which is kind of funny these days. Because I know plumbers and I know electricians that make more money than doctors. So I'm not sure that actually fits in that mind frame anymore. But then you have the lower middle class. You have the working class, blue collar and service industries. The working poor, and I did pull this up from my notes from my college days. The working poor full time but remain near or below the poverty line and at that time, and this was five years ago, four times a year ago, the poverty line was slower than what it is now. And then you have the underclass, the long term unemployment or persistent poverty. And I believe it's even a lower class than that. And this is where I might step on toes. Ingenious servitude, we talked about it before. All the migrants that are coming over and getting paid sub par wages for a job, I believe is the lowest of the lower class. So I mean there's, that's where I'm going to stop. You could easily, very easily go into a multidimensional model that could give you a lot more classes. I think those six, seven, eight classes will probably touch just about every person in the United States. KJ5, ILQ, back to KC2, PKG.
