I see the poors are pretending to be big wallet niggas again est. 2016
Hello, welcome to 'I see the poors are pretending to be big wallet gangstas again'
This hole exists as a safe space for refugees from the Facebook(MetaTM groups of the same name. Of which there have been several iterations. We mostly exist to poke fun at the state of living in poverty. While it oftentimes is unavoidable, we do aspire to not be meanspirited. Over the years we have co-opted the term 'Peak Poor' to being someone who exudes poverty, regardless of their actual net worth. Trump and Elon both exhibit the peak poor ethos from time to time while still being the top 0.000001%. You can do something peak poor and still be a good person or a generally adjusted one. We all have a bit of poor in us.
We basically fill a niche similar to fatpeoplehate with a bit less actual malice.
PeakPoor is shotgunning mountain dews at 5 years old.
PeakPoor is not people dying of poverty. While technically the greatest heights of poverty is succumbing to it this is not funny, and is a failure
of capitalism. We do not make fun of poverty to be mean spirited such as that.
Read the room, if it's punching down too hard or really digging into someone whos a sympathetic character it doesn't belong here. (basically READ THE ROOM)

Subscribe to this hole, it's important that we get our numbers up. Love numbers = peak poor
Bonus points for making your post title some variation of peak poor. (Pinnacle of Poverty, Prowess of the Penniless)
I am looking for a mod who will help me grow this place and encourage the facebook community where the majoryity of our members reside
to migrate. Contact me if interested.
I really do love you all so very much, i'm even spending drama coin to get some banners and marseys. thanks for being a part of the community.

$40,000 per year as a burger is pitiful. But the year they graduated surely cannot be the reason, they must have majored in something that doesn’t produce much economic value
Oh that’s why

I entered the workforce at the same time. The company I worked for went out of business 4 months in and then nobody was hiring.
I'm actually glad I started out like that. Much, much better than hitting your first recession when you have a mortgage, car lease and dependents.

I hate poor people, especially ones that made bad decisions but pretend it's society's fault. I'm a 2013 grad and I made 25k more than that in my first job after getting my degree. The difference: I got a real degree
Graduating in a better economic climate changes nothing, they could have changed jobs when things got better. It's not like hiring managers look at your resume and go "oh cant hire this one, they graduated during a downturn!"

I'm not even sure we can blame the degree when make-work DEI officers can earn bank.
The problem is getting such a degree and not knowing how to grift with it.

No mention of the degree, of course. Either take the entry level job in your field, gain experience and then go for a better job, or go study something else lmao. In my experience, fresh grads are jobless for a season, or jobless for a reason

Most people aren’t jobless on graduation anymore anyway

Kinda depressing, but bottom feeders like that are needed to keep the wheel turning.
I've worked in staffing and some of the job postings for like 20something an hour help desk roles. And someone in their 30s, 40s applying. Guess it's gotta be someone.

20ish an hour is decent money why not apply for it in between real jobs

You easily make more waiting tables. That's my barometer for 'good' money or not

This person seems genuinely pitiful, and not in the funny way.
They are huffing copium but it's probably either that or the rope at this point.

2007 grad, doing good even after having a late start. This confirms my theory that the juniors were r-slurred
