The Rules

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.

Rent is more than a dollar a day. Without a place to code, he never would have been able to work on PayPal. If he slept in his car and worked in an office, gas is still more expensive than a dollar a day unless he moved his car only on the weekends. In short. No he didn't. Someone else footed the bill and he only paid a buck a day for maybe food. Not as tough as doing it on your own, which he's never done.
