              There won’t be anyway because grandma is gonna be sucked dry by things like reverse mortgages, assisted living, or end-of-life healthcare costs before she has a chance to pass anything down anyway.

    Looks fake.

    I’ve never seen an article that says “Study Finds” and then doesn’t name the study or the authors or the journal or the university.

        It most certainly is. Damn, @yogthos@lemmy.ml, wtf is this? Check the Reader’s added context. – how regularly have you been posting absolute trash sources?

        E: Also, some actual data in comparison.

          Firstly let me say Yogthos is a good comrade and overall a positive for Lemmy.

          Secondly, he posts trash sources very frequently and it’s obvious he doesn’t read beyond the headline before posting. He posts like someone who’s scouring an RSS feed for Lemmy posts and prioritising volume of posts over anything.

      In any case, this website is the news equivalent of one of those shady-ass sports gambling websites.
