only 1/3 of general pop consider themselves part of a class at all (half of all GBCS respondents though lol)
class consciousness rises with income, unlike what Marx might have predicted
lots of interviewees were uncomfortable with this idea of class as a totalising factor, prefer to emphasise individual agency/merit instead
class snobbery is still alive just more hidden and underground
