Scammers gonna scam!

Why are are these okay?

I've gone most of my life without really knowing anyone who is involved with multi-level marketing, aka pyramid schemes. Honestly, I kind of pity some of the people who get involved with them. But save for a couple of suburban moms I know tangentially, I've been kindly spared from solicitous direct messages from boss babes about how their products - or joining their team - will change my life. Until this year. It would seem my cousin has fallen prey to the seductive lifestyle that so many MLM g…

Natural-born con artists

It is normal to ask yourself occasionally, “does my job contribute anything substantive to society?” When I worked as a security guard at my college's library, I would have to watch unattended items on the security camera to make sure they weren't stolen. After almost a year of working at these libraries and countless hours watching footage of unattended laptops sitting on a table, I never saw an item get stolen. Never! Not once!

The sort of people who get mad when free stuff doesn't meet their unreasonable expectations. Or job listings that seek PhD grads to babysit toddlers for fifty cents an hour. The only response these choosy beggars deserve is shame and ridicule, and we've selected a handful of especially egregious examples of entitlement from r/choosybeggars f…

The world can be a pretty unfair place, and what's worse is that many of these problems are hiding in plain sight.
