The rules are simple:

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Do you have anything to back that up?

Here's my link: The salary you need to be considered middle class in every U.S. state—it’s close to $200,000 in 2 of them. In every single state 100k is middle class.

I don't need my own you just proved my point, 100k is not middle class.

The report, which crunched the numbers for all 50 states, is based on Pew Research’s definition of middle class: two-thirds to double the median household income.

i believe your source even makes note that the American "middle class" is considered working class just about everywhere else.

And in which state is 100k more than double the median income? Did you actually look at the article, or did you hit the second paragraph and assume?

That's not how most of the world defines middle class because it's a useless stat that does not reflect societal issues via economics.

I looked at the article.

‘Middle class’ goes beyond income

For many people, being “middle class” goes beyond a certain income level, says Brad Klontz, a certified financial planner and expert in financial psychology and behavioral finance.

Did you?

Okay, I thought we were talking about the US tax structure.

[–] Madison420@lemmy.world 0 points 3 weeks ago

The us tax structure doesn't involve classes. There is no irs definition of middle class because that simply isn't what they do.
