    If you’re upper-income, earning over $100,000, things are good … What we see with middle- and lower-income consumers, it’s actually a different story.

    When had this ever not been true? What a windbag.

      Over $100K ain’t chump change, but that also isn’t the line where “upper income” starts.

      https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/heres-minimum-salary-required-be-considered-upper-class-2025

      The Pew Research Center defines upper-income households as having incomes greater than $169,800, based on three-person households. For a household with a single earner and no additional income, that $169,800 is the minimum salary required to be upper class. With two earners, each with the same salary, that minimum would be $84,900 each.

          I never suggested otherwise. I was pointing out how disconnected from reality the really “upper income” CEO is.
