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.

You probably need glasses if your eyes are telling you the economy is bad right now.

Lmao it wasn't printing trillions of dollars that caused inflation, it was covid. Never mind that dems are determined to tax the middle class out of existence in the name of eating the rich.

I hate that all the discussion around the COVID measures assume they were all mandatory. Like "oh we couldn't possibly have allowed people back into work months earlier, it would have been physically impossible!"
I'm still salty the used COVID as an excuse to close down the beaches and forest preserves around here. Big wide open outdoors areas, basically the ideal place to congregate with minimal spread, and they shut it all down.

Oh but the fiery yet mostly peaceful summer of love was somehow totally fine. I really hate hypocrites, and I hate douchebags pissing on my leg while they try and tell me it's just raining. And if Joe Brandon does get re-elected we're gonna get 45% long term capital gains tax next year. I worked really fricking hard to pull myself out of poverty and I'm not willing to go back just so some self-righteous c*nts who get to trade on inside information can claim it's all in the name of equity.

In Texas most areas took it seriously for 4-6 weeks. It was crazy to me hearing that kids elsewhere weren't back in school at the end of 2021 and even 2022.
The shutdowns were 100% unnecessary after the initial "oh shit lets figure this out". The biggest issue with Texas and covid was masks becoming a political statement so most opting out of wearing them due to pride.

I live in Chicago and the school thing made literally everyone fricking furious. Covid in general made everyone furious
Of course, we have the memory of gold fish so it's back to supporting CTU for some reason

It was the Teacher's Unions, at least in California. Those frickers own the state government in everything but name.

Still fricking pisses me off and makes me chud out how fricking unaccountable teachers unions and the Democratic Party are in California for this bullshit.
Gavin Newsome, proud governor of the people kept public schools shut down while his own kids were able to go back to school because he sends them to a private school.
How the frick are we suppose to believe in public schools when Democrats won't even send their own kids to them? If their product is so good why don't they use it?

um if you gathered outdoors for a cookout with friends and family you literally had blood on your hands for directly murdering elderly or immunocompromised people.
but also if you wanted to pack yourself shoulder to shoulder with 10,000 strangers in the street that's perfectly fine. covid can tell if you are protesting and won't infect you.

Around here they took down basketball hoops. Like they unscrewed and removed the actual hoops from the stands. The argument was that basketball was a contact sport so a vector for COVID transmission (it's not spread through contact though and we knew that).
Then people starting crying racism so they also took down fricking tennis nets from the courts so people couldn't play tennis, which DEFINITELY isn't a vector for COVID transmission since you're standing several feet away (at minimum) from your opponent at basically all times.
These are all for outdoors city parks, not indoors.

Has Biden changed anything on middle class taxes (besides indirectly via inflation)?

His proposed 45% long term capital gains tax is going to frick the middle class hard, but my statement was more directed at the democrats broadly. Particularly at the state and local level.

The same people saying the stock market wasn't representative of the economy under Trump are now using it as one of the leading factors to say Bidenomics is working
Edit: I guarantee Pizza did exactly this

People are determined on pretending that just because GDP is back on track that means the money is trickling down to the average American and that covid policies haven't amounted to a huge wealth transfer in the opposite direction of what a left-wing party should be advocating for.

I'm guessing there are pockets where it really is terrible but I think most of it is people not realizing how good 2014-2022 was.
