Someone Asks “What Was Loved By Poor People Until Rich People Ruined It?”, 50 People Don’t Hold Back

Trucks, 80,000$ for a truck is nuts.

Lobster - used to be peasant food, served to inmates, and used for plant fertilizer....

Carnivals and amusement parks.

$80 for 2 slices of pizza, 2 salads, and 2 drinks at Six Flags.

Everything is not just expensive, its obscenely way past expensive. *Everything*.

My son n I filled the backseat up with game prizes and a couple huge stuffed animals last summer, but I easily spent over $200 on games (and we're actually pretty good at 'em).

It was a $900+ day 💀

I think work boots and work clothing are being ruined. I want to buy work boots but the good stuff is being discontinued for hipster style boots for people who go to Starbucks and never set foot in a warehouse/construction/trade environment. The same with clothing. Carhartt is a hipster brand. Dickies started doing this flex s**t a while back, although they have sort of remained ok for now.

Disneyland.

Football was working man's game. My Dad took me and my cousin to games every week home and away. This is beyond many now

Sewing and sewing supplies. The new machines are plastic garbage and since its become a hobby rather than for the average person the patterns after the 70s use way too much fabric.

Timberlands. They used to be good, inexpensive work boots that would last you forever, but once they got popular with celebrities, the price started going up and the quality went down. Now they're treated like a luxury brand and it's easier to find them in pink or with bedazzles than in a traditional color.

Coachella

Used to be (years ago) a kick back event with music lovers.

It’s now a s**t show with over the top antics and an opportunity for rich folks to party. The music isn’t the main reason they go.

Mexican food, especially simple stuff like tacos and burritos.

It used to be the cheap option, especially where I live as there's a huge hispanic population and lots of great cheap Mexican takeout places. Then all of a sudden tacos became trendy and now places with $5+ tacos exist and everything went up in price pretty quickly.

Prolly like ramen noodles or McDonald's. fast food isn't even cheap anymore.

Anything that was relabeled as "communism" so that the rich wouldn't have to pay more taxes / give up their lucrative business models.

e.g., Unions, state subsidized healthcare, estate tax, etc.

Avocados have become so popular that the locals can no longer afford them.

Storage shed auctions used to be really cheap until that stupid Storage Wars show came along.

Now instead of buying cheap for some furniture, too many people are jacking up the prices thinking that there's some lost antiques worth thousands that they'd find in every unit.

Every little cool mountain town in the American west.

The champion brand. I remember goodwill and walmart selling their champion stuff for cheap, now it's "designer" and it costs so much more now smh

Edit: I'm so glad that other people know what I'm talking about. This was my first comment after making a reddit for myself, also, "designer" is a very strong word. It's more "in trend" and popular. It's not as big as Michael Kors and Steve madden but it's difficult to find a champion sweater for less than $50-100+ when it used to be $10-20

Colorado. The original locals are being forced out of the state by the wave of Californians coming in, dropping $500k cash on a house, and then voting for NIMBY zoning laws to keep new housing from being built to compensate for the increased demand.

Vinyl collecting. It was a dead, cheap to get into industry as a hobby. Now come and get your $50 RSD special jizz splatter Chet Baker EP.

Vegan food. When it became a trend the label vegan made it 50% more expensive.

There was a huge scandal in the late 2000s when it was reveal most pizza shops didn't use real cheese, because plant based was cheaper.

Today vegan cheese 200% compared to normal cheese.

Creating YouTube channels.

The worst part of this is that they all use the same format. Vlogs, 50 different camera cuts in a span of two minutes, clickbait titles and thumbnails.

Living in the middle of no where like a forest or near a lake.
