    Yeah, but like, isn’t that where the majority of people live?

    So when talking about “most places” it makes sense for it to be “places most likely for people to live”. If it was literally “most places” America is pretty fucking empty.

    I googled it, the average price for an acre in Kansas is like 3.5k.

    In “most places” it’s cheap as hell. But no one lives there so why talk about it?

      That’s the talking point and semantics the rich want us to believe. That there’s plenty of places to live that are cheap.

      They don’t tell the real truth that the majority of the US is desolate country and wilderness that no one wants to live or work.

      100k in Phoenix or Atlanta =/= 100k NYC or SF

        And “flyover” states 100k a year is like a millionaire…

        So if going by “most places” you’d be using like 25k or even lower.

        I get what you’re saying semantically, it’s just that if we’re being that semantic it’s meaningless, so clearly the other interpretation is what was meant.

        Like, when someone uses “literally” you can tell what was intended.

        You didn’t notice the forrest because all the trees were in the way homie.

          my point is that the term “middle class” is corpo propaganda…
