Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

Links to news stories from...
...credible sources, with...
...their original headlines, that...
...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

He failed, and he's a young white guy with the experience of a millionaire trying to be "homeless" in a place that never experienced -20c temperatures.

Literally as easy as it could get for him. And he failed.

Go ahead and try it while being a young black man. Or a woman. Or disabled. Or with a mental illness. Or an addiction. Or a child.

While being followed by a film crew, given a place to stay for free by a fan, a positive background check for his office space, and investors who knew who he was.
