Favorite China memory: a guy comes over to fix the air conditioner in my apartment, and needs to climb out the 5 story window because the unit is outside the building. The guy wraps a rope around his waste, hands the other end to me, and I serve as an anchor while he climbs out the window lol

We must make it a requirement that people spend time canvasing or otherwise interacting with voters at the street level before they are allowed to post/podcast, imho

This is reasonable, can't say I disagree..
I also think there are reasons why a reasonable person might want to use some other definition of working class in a different context.
