OnlyFans star earning £100k a month starts 'affordable housing scheme' for UK families.
Jill Rhodry 1 year ago (edited)
Wow, a decent landlord: - The 28-year-old from Derbyshire wrote: "The ball is now rolling with my ‘affordable housing scheme’. My plan is to buy 8 properties outright and rent them out to low-income families. "One house I’ll be renting out is a 3 storey, 4 bedroom, 3 bathroom house with off road parking for 2 cars, fully furnished, £650 a month!" When somebody quizzed her about the plans, Rebecca replied: "I make enough profit on OnlyFans, I have no mortgages so rent payments are 100% profit except maintenance and insurance, this is a side hustle that my kids can inherit. I’m not doing it to make me more money I’m doing it [to] invest in my kids futures."

US Farmers win right to repair John Deere equipment.
Sue User 1 year ago
Backstory. For years, cell phone companies have sucessfully fought " right to repair " laws. They argued that trade secrets would be stolen. Then John Deers started putting chips in tractors. And they told the farmers only authorised John Deere technitians could work on them. Only problem was thrre wasnt enough techs and farmers were on waiting lists for weeks. Well, dometimes waiting a day to harvest can cause issues. So the farmers sued. And won. Courts were willing to make you wait for your phone, but not eff with the food supply. This has set s precident and right-to-repair is coming for all sorts of electronics.

I'm happy he has his career back. 👍 Male victims of SA (edit: sexual assault) and abuse needs to be heard and seen to shed a light on a problem often forgotten because of the majority of these things happen to women. The stigma needs to end so male victims dare to come out, so they can get the love and support they need and deserve. Seek help, people will listen and are there to help. We love you. ❤️

Taylor Swift gives bonuses totaling over $55 million to every person working on a massive Eras tour.
Pamela24 1 year ago
I know I'm gonna get downvoted into oblivion but Taylor Swift is also apparently a billionaire now and I just don't believe there's a thing called "ethical billionare". To me this remains an oxymoron. I'm not saying she's a terrible person who's never done anything right (such as these bonuses), I'm just saying - nobody needs a billion dollars. Not a single person ever for themselves. And noone makes that in their lifetime without other people being exploited (even if indirectly) along the way. And yes - I absolutely see the same isses with all the Musks, Bezozes and all those weirdos.

The FTC wants to ban companies from telling their employees they can't work for competitors — and says it'll help workers make $300 billion more a year.
Donkeywheel 1 year ago
Good news, the US are slowly adopting every single European law. Here a non compete agreement is legal but must be accepted by both parties, not last more than 1 (exceptionally 2) years and the most important part, be paid. That means that even after someone leaves a company, he’ll still get paid (not a full wage) as long as they want him away from the competition.
