see your point, but ngl I don't think someone who can only eke out a middle class lifestyle in the US of all places really has much technical knowledge.
Up to a few decades ago, a foreigner with a university degree from the US, let's say an engineer, would have caused some impression and easily get a top paying job, but yeah it won't happen nowadays. I personally met some Euros who migrated and started their business here and are all quite well-off, but again a different time and they knew what they were going to do.
Not to mention that obviously none of the people who post in that sub about migrating have more than $10k to their name at best.
Oh absolutely, and if you're going to be working class then the US is 100% much better.

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.
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.

They'd be better off getting a job in Houston or Dallas and living in some cheap suburb in rural Texas
