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.

The news has been bleating out that the inverted yield curve, yadda yadda signifies we're in a recession. I don't really blame the general public when a McChicken costs $2.50 now.

The elderly should have saved more money. $10/week from 1970-2015 would make you atrociously wealthy if it was all S&P500. Why do I need to make a top-5% income, save 50 grand a year, drive used cars, be a semi-expert mechanic, investor, and tradesman when boomers could just flap around and get the same lifestyle as me working as the assistant manager at a Sears?

the nnverted yield curve doesnt even mean were in a recession, and They like just blamer about that bc before literally every economic down turn there was an inverted yield curve, and That doesnt mean that literally every yield curve was followed by a down turn, in faft about half rhe time the economy went up or stayed stagnant after an inverted yield curve, and Also the mcchicken costing more is great for macdonalds bottom line which is beneficial to the overall economy which is a net good!!!
but its whatever
ok so !slots500

um Thats totally false, by that logic weve been in a recession since 2022 actually, butt the definition has changed, chud, and If we cant agree on the definition of words, then we cant have a coherent discussion about how great the economy is doing???
