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.

Plus…don't these owners also do the “IF YOU DONT PAY US I SWEAR TO GOD WE ARE GOING TO MOVE AWAY” threat to force this too?
Must say - not a fan of that either…

But the only reason the thunder is here in okc is because Seattle DIDNT pass a new arena back in 06 so they bounced to okc
They most likely will leave if this doesn't pass today.
Okc was a huge shit hole before the thunder. It still is but it's night and day difference.

the problem is the city uses these arenas all the time when sports aren't being played there. So yea obviously they don't want to foot the bill. It's used for concerts, comedy shows, conventions, charity events, etc

They could just rent it to the city if they need it? There's no reason they would let it just sit for months when basketball isn't playing. There's no reason the city should foot the bill for a sports stadium unless it's to attract a team.

Absolutely r-slurred. They can rent it instead of subsidizing them almost a billion dollars.

Shit that people rent the space for. An arena is an investment because other people are going to pay to use it and you make the money back. Frick off with the gay government handouts. Everyone else has to pay for their buildings, the weird expectation that sports franchise owners have that they should get the dole is bullshit and it always has been. Frick off

Fr. There is no reason that they cant afford it, butt more than that tax payer dollars going to sports is such blatant corruption. Beyond childrens sports at public schools there shpuld be no tax dollars going to leisure activities. People will pay for it any way and its not a necessity.
