Most of the things he's complaining about is a higher cost to pay people to do things for you, which is a consequence of the lower class in America getting higher wages now relative to the middle class. I don't see how you can be frustrated that Doordash drivers aren't the miserable 8/hr slaves that dominos drivers were in 2018. You have to pay a taco bell worker 15/hr to get your slop now. Oil might have gone up a little but mechanics demand much higher wages to change it for you.
Yeah it's supply and demand. On the labor front, you have a low unemployment rate. Companies have to compete for labor at a higher cost. That cost is then reflected in the product or service.

That's a good point as well. That is creative destruction, the engine of human progress. It's why immigrants want to come to America. It's shit work, but you're going to make more in a week than you can in a year back home. But these people will piss and moan because it costs $5 more for someone to deliver panda express than to pick it up. And if you're complaining about that, you 1000% deserve your peakpoor fate.

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.
