Crossword 141: Middle Class
Oh the poor middle class! Not only is its wealth increasingly appropriated by billionaires, but for well over a century it has been routinely derided in high culture. Hipsters everywhere decry its foolish tastes, activists its mistaken values. No matter the authenticity of your own non-bourgeois (proletarian? aristocratic?) credentials—pronounce a thing "bourgie" and your title to sophistication is assured.
Well, though I will here and now claim (why not?) to have myself no connection whatsoever with the middle class, I feel sorry for it sometimes. I hope this crossword tribute will make it feel a little better.
