"I have just bought a Maserati, and thanks to a smart investment I'm retiring at 23 and living my best life. I want to help you do the same." If it seems too good to be true, it probably is. Spoiler alert: it's a scam.

Are there less pensions schemes today because pension schemes risked turning into a disaster like ponzi scams?

"If you reject the very idea that problems are systemic, then you have no use for institutions, and institutions are the only effective response to systemic problems. That primes you to reject the unsatisfying answers of science ("If you don't want to get cancer, regulate corporations and cars that dump carcinogens into the environment") in favor of individual solutions, which are, inevitably, products that someone can sell you, from alkaline water to electrosmog-shielding hats.

Rejecting systemic explanations also primes you to believe in conspiracy theories. This is why antisemitism is called "the socialism of fools": rather than fighting against the system of primacy of extractive finance capital over the productive economy, you spend all your time locked in a one-sided battle with an imaginary cabal of evil Jewish bankers.

Conspiratorial beliefs make you especially vulnerable to a grifter's sales pitch that goes like this: "Of course they don't want you to drink raw milk, otherwise you'd be as powerful as they are." Variations on this theme include "buy the miracle anti-aging cure that only billionaires are privy to" and "buy a bump stock before the conspiracy to take away your right to self-defense makes them illegal."
(...)
Many people have observed that one of the reasons conservatives govern so badly is that they campaign on the idea that "governments are wasteful and inefficient," which means that if they run the government in a wasteful and inefficient fashion, they only prove their point. In the same fashion: right-wing grifters who pitch you on the idea an evil cabal has rigged the game, and then take your money and rip you off, are demonstrating the correctness of their pitch."

"The self-proclaimed misogynistic influencer Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan arrived in the US last week, after the American government lobbied for the brothers to have a travel ban lifted. They are currently facing charges of human trafficking and sexual exploitation in Romania, and are under investigation for rape and human trafficking in the UK. They deny all charges."—Times Radio

The Dangers of #MultiLevelMarketing (#MLMs)
youtube.com/watch?v=Q9gfBO9sqp

#MLM stands for #Multi-#Level #Marketing but it's also known as #Network Marketing and are closely related to #PyramidSchemes but surprisingly, they're still legal. This is why you shouldn't get involved in any MLM because you could lose A LOT of #money.

I don't understand why anyone bothers trying to rope #childfree middle-aged #women into #PyramidSchemes or #MLM #scams. Sorry, Ashley P from high school, but are you not aware that I've successfully resisted pressure from *every child-having friend and relative* to buy into their "have kids" pyramid scheme? You really think you're going to tempt me with peer pressure and shitty skincare products? My skin already looks 10 years younger than yours because I don't wake up 6 times a night with a screaming toddler.

Another mom added me on social media. I've never met her, but we have mutual friends. Almost got excited to make a new friend. Then she sends this mesage:
"Hi, I manage (pyramid company), selling products focused on weight loss and healthy lifestyle..."
My response:
"Thanks, but no thanks, I'm in recovery from anorexia."
