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.

If he could go back to being rich, he was never poor- nor homeless, but a clown trying to profit from his shit antics.

Moreover, despite faking the whole thing, he was still somehow too soft to hack it. He literally couldn't handle pretend homelessness.

But still you'll never get it right
'Cause when you're laid in bed at night
Watching roaches climb the wall
If you called your dad he could stop it all

Pulp had it right in 1995

I wouldn't see it that hard. He had some weird views of the world, but through this he saw that it's not as easy as he thought and I am sure he won't say the same shit as he did before.
