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)

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.

The economy is still fine compared to global standards but the people benefiting from the higher standard are no longer the majority middle class. You are either a wage cuck making $10 an hour, getting laid off from your corporate desk/tech job or you are loaded. Wages have stagnated something fierce.

Purchasing power for poor people is unironically substantially up. They're just r-slurred (that's why they're poor) so they piss it away on dumb shit like uber eats and feel "poor".
The last few years have seen an absolute surge of wages at the bottom end of the spectrum but even Democrats don't seem to like talking about it because it would imply that people who are still struggling might just be useless members of society.
