Her mistake is she's not allowed to do those things without giving her superiors a cut.

How unchecked capitalism works is more accurate.

We don't all live in your Murican hell.

It's always funny to see they think this shit happens everywhere.

Nope. Just the greatest country in earth! And if course other third world countries.

You don't think people lie on GoFundMe or solicit donations in other countries? What part only happens in the US?

Can't believe I'm relieved. The ends of these headlines usually go a different way.

This genius threw away her job, career, unemployment benefits and reputation for a piddly $140 that she's likely going to have to pay back. How do people get through life while being this stupid?

She's entitled and narcissistic.  Sadly there are many others like that.

She needs to return the money with interest. I know she didn’t receive all that much but I still think she should be made to return the money. Also good on the judge for denying her unemployment benefits.
