A documentary gave a homeless man $100,000 with no strings attached. Six months later, it was all gone.
In 2005, filmmakers handed Californian Ted $100,000, free financial advice, and a camera crew to record what happened.
At first, his life improved. He moved into a motel, then an apartment, and finally had stability.
But as the money disappeared, he rejected expert advice, trusted only his instincts, and eventually returned to living under the bridge.
The experiment showed that money can create opportunity, but without the habits to manage it, opportunity can disappear just as quickly.
My jaw literally dropped checking this out
If you go to New Jersey inmates mugshots and filter by race “White” you’re mind is gong to be blown
Almost all mugshots are of minorities being booked as “White.” (Proof in video)
THIS IS INSANE. You should be furious. I go through all the inmates just on the first page and the people doing this need to go to prison
Just imagine this nationwide….
Every major network covered Joe Bidens "Red Speech" where he call half the country domestic terrorists, but they won't cover President Trump speech tonight because he's going to talk about securing our elections!
You don't hate legacy media enough!
@MagaIdiocracy26@joeroganhq The term is “enforce.”
If murder laws were upheld in the same manner voting laws were in shithole blue states, the answer to the solution the U.S. needs would be reached much much faster.
The barely coherent morons in the U.S. should be thankful things are the way they are.
Bill Maher asks how the government is “failing the poor so badly” when he pays “60 PERCENT” of his earnings in taxes.
“Last week was tax day… I paid the government probably almost 60% of what I earn. That’s a lot.”
“And I… wouldn’t mind if Bernie Sanders would stop saying the rich don’t pay taxes.”
“The top 10% pay 72% of all federal income taxes. And the bottom half, 3%.”
“The Democratic Socialists talk about socialism like we don’t already have a lot: Social Security, unemployment, Medicare, nutritional assistance, Medicaid, Obamacare, disability, housing subsidies.”
“How can you be soaking the rich and failing the poor so badly? How can it be that the federal government alone took in over 5 trillion in taxes last year, and we still need that?”
“Are we really this incompetent and corrupt?”
@Panchblack10@Sony The answer (ultimately, this has always been the ONLY answer):
Customers bought and paid for these items. It *was* in the fine print that those actions meant literally nothing. With these actions, Sony brings future repercussions on themselves, and said actions *are* justified.
This is so devastating. Imagine being a black parent tonight. How do you protect your children? If they go out and stab just one person, they might go to prison. It’s like a black man in America can’t even murder anyone anymore. Unimaginable. Jim Crow all over again. I’m furious.
@ephenstephen22@AlexForbesOps “General Contracting” they call it…cuz they generally don’t have the discipline to fulfill the needs of a corporate 9-5 without being fired.
@JesseBWatters Correct; it’s a shithole with barbaric primitives with the intellect of a crayon. If it wasn’t for the natural resources beneath their useless feet, the country would be on par with every other 3rd world hellhole.
