This wouldn’t work today as, often, craftsmen are paid more and are higher on social ladder than clerks. How would you adjust the criteria for modern-day working class check?

They said “do you own” a property that other people pay you to live in. That’s the upper-class part.
Comrade, I wait tables for a living. Tell me again how not being able to pay my mortgage on my own makes me upper-class.
Just because the owning class exploits you, does not mean you are not also exploiting someone.
Plenty of stories about a long term “roommate” master tenant who charges other roommates market rate that exceeds the mortgage.
I’ve heard people who wait tables make a lot of money. When I have said previously that people who wait tables should have a minimum wage, people who wait tables have got quite angry.
I’m being sarcastic.
Do you a) Own a property b) that you don’t live in c) that other people who are not family members live in d) and those people pay you?
If not, you’re not the subject of that comment. If so, congrats on being in the very narrow overlap of the Venn diagram for waiters and landlords.
OP never said “that you don’t live in”, is the thing.
