Why create new news community? I'm tired of getting banned by crazy lemmy moderators under made up reasons for posting news articles (likely reddit subversive operation).
Also most of news communities are empty - this one will be full of content.
So i'm now creating my own community. everyone welcome, let's tear reddit down together.

Trump’s take over of the Kennedy Center has cost the institution millions. Now, the Board says the only way to avoid bankruptcy is by putting his name on the building. (www.msn.com)

Maybe someone could ELI5, how having his name on the building is going to somehow raise revenue? Or is it just a matter of, "Trump is refusing to fund the place unless they put his name on it"?

Adding to the financial turmoil, the center previously argued in court filings it would have to return millions of dollars in private donations it had already received if Trump’s name wasn’t on the building’s facade, citing the center’s bylaws.

Weird argument IMO. Never knew you could "donate" money and ask for it back if they don't do exactly what you want.

Yeah, it works on senators too.
