>AAAAAAHHHHGGHHHHHHHH THE SOCIAL SAFETY NETS! THE ZILLIONAIRES! THE INEQUALITY! Europe is like a utopia, in Sweden I would be getting government bux while I could play video games while bottoming for my non-binary partner!
most Americans think it must be 100% my own fault that I'm broke and some even think I should die for being in a non-hetero relationship or for just being poor
People whining on reddit about being broke are 100% guaranteed to be guilty of their own misfortune while blaming society.
fr the only people I personally know that are poor are the ones that consistently call out sick to work to go do whatever else and end up getting let go. Just job hop enough to get through an employment probation period then go to the next after a couple months of unemployment.
Well it's either that or people that leverage up to their eyeballs with their mortgage. For them at least if they keep their head above water, eventually they turn out fine even if they're broke by month end typically
Weirder conversation I had was with a like second step-cousin (not sure the terminology) who was 40-something never worked a day in his life but voted republican and complained about welfare queens. guy lived in a pretty depressed, rural area. Had a kid too.
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.
