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.”

Please also avoid duplicates.

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

And that’s basically it!

It’s not crazy. I too would buy up my neighbors properties for what equates to a few hundred dollars.

And that's why we'll never be billionaires.

Your empathy is the barrier.

Psychopathy can only be adaptive and advantageous if the majority of the population has no barriers. If they kill everyone but them, they'll just die or work themselves.
