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.

That article is such an obvious fake that even some of /r/neoliberal is skeptical. No way are they making only $54K as a full time tenured associate professor. Complain about it being harder to get tenure than 20-40 years ago, sure, but tenured professor salaries are still upper-middle class.

Only STEM profs and liberal arts profs with bestsellers and/or a knack for grifting can bring in the $$$ to support that standard or above of living. Most tenured humanities and social science profs make sub-six figure salaries, though $54k sounds pretty bad.

I'd be interested in seeing the exact salary ranges by department but the AAUP released this report (Figure 1) which suggested that average associate professor salaries are 100K and full professor salaries are 150K (both are falling though). The salaries outside engineering , medicine, law, and business departments will obviously be quite a bit lower.
I did find some pretty dogshit salaries for some associate professors trawling H1BInfo so this person might exist, but this really seems atypical.
