A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.

What the hell happened to this guy? A decade ago he was actually trying to help people.

He was always a grifter. When I was in college in the late 90s he had a financial responsibility program for college students to help them learn how to get out from college debt they were in the process of racking up. It was something like $40-50 a session for a 6-8 week course. That would be roughly $75-90 today.

I watched way too many of my friends give away money to that guy.

My personal favorite was the fact my stuoid fucking high school trusted his shitty content for a personal finance class. Tmk its still in use there

In the 2010's we got the videos for free in the military, too many 18 year old privates spending all their paychecks on Mustangs by taking out payday loans or stupidly high interest loans to get them.
