          I think the PMC is real as a distinct subset of the working class that emerged post-WWII. But the problem is that a lot of people here think the PMC is static, when really it's collapsing back into the larger working class milleau. Hence the gnashing of teeth at knowledge economy workers when they're stable and the spiteful laughter when they're not.
