In the US, actually-doing-better-and-better middle class, for the most part. I'm seeing the top 10% as a usual "center" in analysis of the k-shaped economy. It's brown people and Trump voters in trailer parks that are actually losing.

Looks like the trend is just a lot less pronounced in Canada, though. We're all a bit poorer.

It's hard to be sad about that - their choices did this to themselves(and, annoyingly, also to the rest of us)

Yep. Not being fascist was an option. In theory, anyway. In practice that stuff always has an audience everywhere.
