The middle class was destroyed the second Clinton signed the deal with China. It's just been a slow death from there.
But to blame AI is crazy, because the middle class has almost completely disappeared 10 years ago before AI. Middle class is about 10% today, and it was 15% 10 years ago
Yes, but now these remnants of the middle class may also disappear and fall from 10 percent to 3-5 percent, I think. But it depends on the country; in some countries, it seems that the middle class is already 5 percent, but somewhere it seems to be around 25 percent.
