You would think it would give them victim points, but for some reason a lot of poor people still call themselves lower middle class. I have a feeling it's because poor people, who are usually very high time preference and not all that bright, can now buy a bunch of extremely cheaply-produced consumer shit and live relatively affluently compared to most of their ancestors so they can't be "poor". I used to mentally associate being poor with severe trouble living day-to-day and thought people who gave half of their income to their landlords were just lower middle class, but realistically they are still very low-level wageserfs completely owned by everyone who gives them anything.
