You’ve probably never heard of the overclass, which is just how its members like it; they have a lot to answer for. They are the people who put Jim Carrey on magazine covers, who renamed blue-green “teal” and keep loaning money to Donald Trump–not out of any sinister conspiracy to ruin the country but because, well, it’s their job.

They’re famous for having opinions, but it’s hard to know what these are, since they never call talk-radio shows. If they didn’t exist we’d have to invent them, because otherwise we’d have no answer to the question, whatever happened to all those Yuppies we used to see running around, anyway?
