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.

So glad I became an electricians. Bunch of weirdos in other trades elevator guys and plumbers seem all right, though.

Electricians are upper crust trades for sure. Milwrights are 50/50 and instrument mechanics generally pass as human beings as well.
Elevator mechanics are mostly legit primarily because they're a cross between Electricians and Milwrights. Where I live you can get an elevator ticket with your level 2 in electrical and milwrighting and a short supplementary course. I've considered it in the past, but my dislike of heights is obnoxious enough as an electrician so I thought better of it. Most of them also live out of suitcases.

Where about do you live? Yeah I considered travel when I got into the trades. Did maritime work for awhile but wanted something more local. My jurisdiction is small so it's a great gig. We don't have an instrumentation mechanics (instrumentation and controls /ICE) union hall unless you consider relay technicians who work out of the linemen hall. I'd do that work for sure. But you have to travel to substations and generators.

Pacific Northwest best describes my area without getting too specific.
Depending on how far you have to travel that's not too bad. An odd week of hotels here and there is easy enough to stomach given it doesn't happen all the time. My perspective might be fricked though because I spent much of my apprenticeship living in camps full of the people described in OP.
