Welcome to the News community!

Rules:

1. Be civil


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.


2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.


Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.


Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.


5. Only recent news is allowed.


Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.


6. All posts must be news articles.


No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.


7. No duplicate posts.


If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.


8. Misinformation is prohibited.


Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.


9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.


All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.


10. Don't copy entire article in your post body


For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

MODERATORS
 

Wright is the chief executive of oil and natural gas fracking services company Liberty Energy and sits on the board of a nuclear reactor company, according to his biography on Liberty's website.

He has strongly advocated for the need for more fossil fuels, putting him in line with Trump's repeated call for more oil production.

Wright has also expressed doubts about whether climate change is driving extreme weather events.

"There is no climate crisis, and we're not in the midst of an energy transition either," Wright said in a video uploaded to LinkedIn.

"We have seen no increase in the frequency or intensity of hurricanes, tornadoes, droughts or floods despite endless fear mongering of the media, politicians and activists," he also said in the video. "The only thing resembling a crisis with respect to climate change is the regressive, opportunity-squelching policies justified in the name of climate change."

Putting a BUNCH of Billionaires and CEOs in Charge of Government Regulations is called DRAINING THE SWAMP! Because those people ALWAYS put the Working Class ABOVE Profits!

I can’t wait for these republicans to get exactly what they voted for.

They'll be happy. Like... they really clearly actually want this. Even when their faces get eaten, they're all enthusiastically for it.

[–] whithom@discuss.online 3 points 1 year ago

The face eating will be blamed on the Democrat Leopards.

No doubt these policies will bring short term (1 - 5 years) benefits, cheaper oil and less regulation is likely to reduce costs to consumers.

But long term, that's when ~~the~~ more shit will hit the fan.

It won’t reduce anything. They don’t lower prices anymore, they raise profit. They know from Covid anyone with money can just do any thing they want because in a post democracy the court system will just kick the people to the curb.
