World News
A community for discussing events around the World
Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. 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). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! 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.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple 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. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Sure, just let me pick up a whole production plant and import a few thousand workers already trained on my processes. Should be able to get that done by this weekend.
Also all the material I need I need to build that production plant is under a 104% tariff. NBD.
And if everyone is moving to the USA at the same time, the existing supply lines get overburdened immediately, causing prices of all raw materials to explode until new supply can be developed.
But at least we can be 100% certain those tariffs will still be in place in a few years when the factories are finished.
Not to mention those trained people mentioned above attempting to move here have to fight deportation for checks notes, coming here on a work visa, having a tattoo, speaking your mind, not being white. Hard to say really.
And ICE will pick up those immigrants by Monday, never to be seen again.
Just build all the factories in El Salvador, then when they have to ship all the Americans back they can each bring a car or something with them to avoid the tariffs.
By the weekend? You need more than 24 hours for such a simple and straightforward task? Come on bruh? /s
Gotta be "hardcore"!
It is just Trump theatrics. He is actually trying to collect taxes from Americans through tariffs. It will takes years before the factories start operations.
It would* take years. The factories aren't going to start operations at all.
Pretty much. Nobody believes the tariffs will outlive Trump, and he's very old. Why drop a huge capital expense to solve a problem that will go away?
oh, god - I now have anticipatory... stirrings. thanks, obama.
Unless USA does become a hereditary monarchy and the whole circus continues with Queen Ivanka.
Trump wants her to be his queen
True, it was just a trick, (act) to collect more taxes from Americans. No wonder they put a TV show host to be a president.
It won't be built either
I think he actually believes this will move manufacturing to the US. He is a moron afterall.
I already changed my tax withholdings. Not giving anything to the federal government. Only state.
This is the most effective form of protest, that every single American should be doing.
It also happens to be extremely efficient where it needs to be.
Actually you had 3 hours to do it before he changed his mind.
He'll change it again later today.
And build a new facility and create new supply routes. So much simpler!
Hope he doesn't change his mind and/or get overruled by then. Stable and predictable global markets are sooooo boring.
Edit: oh.. it took 5 hours since I originally commented.
