Upper-middle class is people making ~$200k/year.

When did upper middle class start meaning upper class? Something like 90% of Americans identify as middle class now.

A good indicator that someone is simply being dogmatic and not arguing in good faith (e.g. actually trying to understand someone's POV, and being open to being proven wrong in their assumptions) is when it takes them 5-20 minutes to reply until a particularly good point is made and then they disappear into the ether.
