So yeah... If what that article about "pricing out middle-class" is true, how about we increase its scope beyond Hawaii.

Let's just go ahead and say middle-class (and how about everyone who middle-class believes is below them) is priced out of life in general, including that Hawaii vacation.

so saddly, terribly, wrong.

the labels have stayed, but they mean different things now, but with a new addition. "first class" means you are too poor to own a jet, and "flying private" is the new indicator for immeasurable wealth. Listen closely and you will hear the bitter complaints of poor service and total debaucles formerly assosiated to "budget" travel, now bieng voiced by people paying an extra $3000 to fly "first" class. now it's back of the jet for all of us "riding da bus", up front for the desperate to impress, and the money, only see's other money, somewhere else.
