Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

Most of religion is b.s. but hoarding in a sin against humanity. If I had a billion dollars I wouldnt. I would be building houses and just giving them away, free and clear. You cant tell people how to live, but you CAN make it easier for them to find their best path.
The really bad thing about it is we already have enough homes to go around, they just dont because Dragons - I mean hoarders would rather they sit empty than help anyone.
Will giving the homeless free houses solve all their problems? No. But now they at least wont be as much of a drain on social and medical services. I know some of them would just trash the place, but thats a price I would be willing to pay to help the many who would use it as their new start.
I really dont know why Gates or Zuckerberg dont do this. They will be mostly reviled in 150 years. Fix homelessness and you're famous for several thousand years, the next Jesus, statues and monuments to their greatness in every city.
For anyone who wants to cry: But I had to pay for my house... stop being miserly, it is time to admit that that you got there with a lot of help along the way. No one is self made.
Someone else thinks like you do!

If you think religion is anti-hoarding, you've never been to the Vatican. Or the palaces of the House of Saud.
I have been to the vatican, did a France-Italy tour in highschool. Being raised Lutheran (rich person church) I knew at a young age that they were very selective about which rules the leaders wanted to talk about. Its a catch 22. Jesus said to reject material possession as a goal in life, however the church wants you to make more money so you can tithe more.
You mean, Im not just a temporarily embarressed billionair?
Yea, your right. I just dont like the reality of the matter. I'll propably not even see the million given that Im neuro-divergant. I do also realise that if I were born rich I wouldnt feel and think the way I do about things. Im thankful for that. I would rather be Avalanche than Shinra (ff7 lol) anyways.
