I took Econ 101, so yes, I'm sure. And by the way, I myself am one of those "no longer counted" people. Should I be counted? I could take a job delivering pizza tomorrow, if I cared to. I just don't care to. Should I be counted?

are you limiting your examples of "how shit has changed" to what you know of the world by watching the middle class from the window of a Starbucks?

No, I've been an active observer of the world.
