Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to US politics and contain quality and original content. Social Media adjacent hosts like Substack are allowed, but ONLY if they tie back to a company/subsidiary. No personal or friend group blogs and no self-promotion. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and re-hosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative).

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules and use critical thinking when reading, posting, and commenting. Users that repeatedly have comments or posts removed, weaponize reports, or violate the code of conduct, will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed.

I meant a big problem with our economy is focus on short term profits rather than long term growth.
It's why so many American companies start out good, and then once they're popular they start cutting corners and product quality nosedives and streaming sites add ads
The focus is on making numbers go up in 3 months no matter what, even if you know long term you're destroying the company.
trump is just saying it because he doesn't want focus on short term numbers because their bad.
It's a "broken clock" thing.
You know what’s funny is on this very day 10 years ago, Xi Jipin used the same excuse to removed term limits for himself.
Based on where we are, i won’t be surprised this happens soon here.
The billionaires at trump inauguration have already lost $209 billion dollars...
He's not gonna get the same support today that he got from them during the election.
In 3 years they'll be more than ready to get rid of him.
They have no loyalty and only care about how much money they have, and if trump is bad for their numbers, they'll drop him and try to get a neoliberal thru the Dem primary.
