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!

Even in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary and his own failure the article seems to imply that he still thinks that is the case lol guess he didn't learn anything at all...
It's also pretty obvious he cheated, though.
He clearly had a good phone, phone plan, and secure comprehensive healthcare.
Absolutely, A regular person would need no small amount of luck to get back to just employed and housed. Not saying it would be easy at all.
You know, this would be good evidence to present that giving everyone access to the things Black got (an RV to stay in temporarily for free, a decent phone and plan and the rich person side of American health care), would allow people better mobility out of their situations.
