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:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...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!

She did say that she grew up middle class and sometimes her family couldn't afford pizza. If you can't afford one of the most cost effective ways to feed a family without making the food yourself, you're not middle class. Now she's rich and lying about lemonade stands. It's embarrassing that someone with no idea what middle class means is writing an article about teaching kids about money.
That's a whole lot of judgement made from pure ignorance about anything from her life, and putting words in her mouth.
Yeah, but she's rich so she definitely deserves it! /s
"Sometimes couldn't afford pizza" shouldn't exclude her from middle class... we rarely ate out because we were trying to save that money for a trip or something - we would have said that we couldn't afford pizza, too. Even if it was well within reach, it wasn't within budget.
