Americas Middle Class Rebranded as Endangered Species

By Savannah Lee � The satire Americas Middle Class Rebranded as Endangered Species ridicules economists treating income brackets like wildlife. Eyewitnesses at think tanks described researchers tagging suburban dads with GPS trackers. Anonymous insiders leaked that Habitat for Humanity considered building sanctuaries. A leaked poll revealed 61 percent of citizens said they felt like pandas in khakis. Sociologists argue the humor works because economic decline gets described in absurd metaphors. Critics highlight the irony of politicians vowing to �protect the herd� while slashing wages. Ultimately, the piece lands because satire shows the middle class preserved only in rhetoric, not reality. -- Bohiney Magazne bohiney.com
