People tweeting stuff. We allow tweets from anyone.
RULES:
- Mark NSFW content.
- No doxxing people.
- Must be a pic of the tweet or similar. No direct links to the tweet.
- No international politcs
- Be excellent to each other.
- Provide an archived link to the tweet (or similar) being shown if it's a major celebrity, figure or any politician. If you replace the "x" at their site with xcancel (so it beomes xcancel.com), and you're not on mobile, it will save video. https://web.archive.org/save is another great option. Archive.is is no longer recommended because they remove/alter content.
- If a tweet (or similar) makes a statement of fact, either mark it as "satire" in the body or provide the original source link backing up the statement

Well, to be fair, what would such evidence look like? Would you like to see secret documents (conveniently found in a rich banker's living room) that detail that single-family homes get easier credit benefits so that more people buy them? I'm afraid that kind of proof will be difficult to get hold of, if the banks or whoever might be behind it don't show it to us out of their own free will.
Who would look for such evidence? Who can pay for a search after that evidence? The banks won't investigate themselves and find that they manipulate people.
As such, it is directly natural that there is no proof. That doesn't automatically make it wrong though, just without proof. The question is: is it likely? is it perceivable? is it consistent?
