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.

Let's see how long the landlords wait to turn the prices up and make it unaffordable again (Spoiler alert: it won't take long). Rent controls are fated to fail but letting landlords and corpos have so much control over housing will end creating an even bigger problem.

Yeah, you are r-slurred.

That coming from you is mighty praise.
If you take issue with something as uncontroversial as saying "Rent controls are fated to fail but letting landlords and corpos have so much control over housing will end creating an even bigger problem." then I'm afraid you are an r-slur.
Keep on seething and bootlicking.

This is pure fantasy.
They don't because they're in a competitive market. Let me know when the hundreds of them in a city without rent controls are colluding, k?

literally just build more
like unironically basically all these housing issues can be solved by building more housing, it's just that it would reduce the value of existing housing so the people who own existing housing don't want it

It's not the only aspect to it and it would absolutely not solve the underlying issue by itself. The NIMBY landlords and the corpos and banks with a stake in housing are obviously against it, and some actively lobby for r-slurred regulations and challenge courts to prevent building housing where it's most desperately needed. That is, when they aren't actively conspiring to raise rents as much as possible. NIMBY landlords and corpos don't want their houses to depreciate and their investments to yield low returns, and the banks don't mind their high interest rate mortgages.
This what happens when housing is treated as an investment and not as a basic human need. It's not just the fact that there might be a shortage in housing units, it's also the affordability. When you have landlords with upwards of 10+ houses which they only use to extract rent then you have a shitty system that incentivizes predatory practices. The very system resembles more something out of the middle ages with lords and their fiefdoms than something that belongs in modern society. But places like the US, for example, are simply not ready to seriously tackle the problem because there's just way too much private money invested in it and so there will be a perpetual housing crisis with astronomically high housing prices and rents.
So yes, building more housing would somewhat alleviate the problem in the short term but the inherent dynamics and perverse incentives of a shitty system would still be there.

The best part about Marxism is watching all Marxist countries decry one another because they didn't Marxism the right way.

Self-governance shouldn't be this difficult.
Imagine if someone designed an engine but never tested it, yet people argued for a century that the only reason the engine never worked was that everyone else merely built it wrong.

if organizing orgies is ur full time gig: how many orgies do you figure you can plan in a standard 40-hour week?

No email address required.
While I wouldnt be partaking very often, I could prob organize 3 or 4. Vetting candidates, getting catering, outfitting s*x dungeons, etc. all takes significant time.

tbh 3-4 sounds like quite a bit
that one aella (
) did seems like it took way longer than a week to organize
i guess what I'm getting at is: we're gonna need to have a talk about the production values of ur orgies
