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.

U.S. stocks were slammed for a third day on Monday as the White House remained defiant even after President Donald Trump’s rollout of shockingly high tariff rates on most key U.S. trading partners has caused a market meltdown.

It's a shame we don't have a competent left in the US. This is an opportunity.

As Republican voters have been turned into easily deluded suckers unable to think critically or act in their own interests, now would be the perfect time to capitalize on that and turn them against the core rot of our society: unrestrained capitalism. That's why we have Trump to begin with.

"Look, the capital markets are anti MAGA! The capital markets must be destroyed, if you disagree you have Trump derangement syndrome! Capitalism is revealed as a woke leftist plot to discredit GodEmperorDaddyTrump!"

The capitalists defunded education for decades to cut their own taxes despite profiting from a literate workforce pool, and pushed profit friendly lies through for profit media and captured government pulpits. The capitalists made this drooling army of rage zombies that is the Republican base. They don't know which way is up. They might not be doing it for the right reasons, but this is a magic moment where the monsters could be given a nudge to turn on their oligarch creators.

Left over scars from the red scare movement, which really sucks.

Surely it’s a better strategy to simply do nothing but more insider trading over the next 3 years. That’s the key, we will win!
