#FollowTheMoney 🧵77/n This piece really chimes with Melinda Cooper’s analysis ⬆️ (74-76) and many previous posts: it’s about how asset capitalism (and AI) is hollowing out the middle class, with a small number joining the elite, the rest working increasingly on close to minimum wages. Also speaks to my own recent experiences… and many others too, I imagine. Especially recent graduates. The whole university>white collar job>decent salary model is crumbling. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2025/nov/03/the-guardian-view-on-britains-new-class-divide-the-professional-middle-is-being-hollowed-out?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other
