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:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...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!

Could accidentally give someone collateral to take out a massive loan they cannot afford long term.

Wtf is this paternalistic BS. They could buy drugs or guns too!! 😱

“Paying people more would be irresponsible of us. The poors would be burdened with the responsibility of having too much money! It would destroy them!”

with the responsibility of having too much money! It would destroy them!

It often does, seen it firsthand. Hell, I doubled my income and benefits from last job to current. Did not manage it well, wasn't prepared, fucked up my credit (though I always pay on time!), never learned about dealing with money.

Also, are you suggesting a Japanese company of software devs are "poors"?! Don't even know how to reply...

This whole thread cements my view that lemmings are a bunch of teens and 20-somethings that have little real-world experience and are angry at what their generation is waking up to. (And you SHOULD be angry. But FFS, take a deep breath, take a wider, longer view.)

Yes dear, everyone that disagrees with you is just an angry child. 🙄
