An amazon facility opened really near me, so now our area has really good shipping. Tons of people I know have started to buy everything from Amazon. I don't understand the disconnect people have between their actions of stopping buying local and then the decimation of their home town.
I'd bet money that the Amazon facility that moved in hires more employees, has better benefits, better wages and more opportunity for career advancement than all the retail stores that could have been forced out by it.
I rly hate to say it but amazon is a game changer here. There were so many products I could never buy until amazon showed up, and I don't mean consumer goods but stuff for work. Metric thermocouples and silicon o rings and various low voltage mechanical relays and shit

>I think a lot of us are having a hard time feeling optimistic because it is the third time (9/11, ‘08, COVID) we've been in this ride in 25 years, and each time the recovery has been meh for working and middle class folks and great for the wealthy.
Tons of people make money hand over fist, this guy's just a loser.
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.
