You want to criminalize homelessness and put them in prison or work camps? Thats fricking demented, bro. You're one car accident away from losing everything. One house fire. One job loss. You have more in common with the homeless than you do billionaires. Have some common decency.
Actually /u/BigTittyTriangle I'm not one accident or fire away from homelessness because I'm an upstanding citizen with marketable skills andna good comprehensive insurance policy. Maybe if you lived below your means and pursued a real career instead of driving for ubereats you wouldn't have to worry about it either.
The people camping on the sidewalks have way more problems than simply that they lost their job. Theyre not only "down on their luck" but they've also burned every bridge they have. Remember that.
I blame media for this. When was the last show you saw where a homeless person wasn't a sainted, noble darling imparting sage wisdom to a main character, but rather a tweaked out, unkept mental case?
It's literally because many redditors don't have to deal with the real, mentally unwell, homeless and that if they do they run to reddit to try and reconcile their encounter with the reality with the idea of the noble savage unhoused who's simply down on their luck due to a failed system in their mind.

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.
