News
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.

What do you think this guy is? Muslim?!
No no no. We don't treat rich white people this way.
I just want justice to be done. So much so that its almost cruel. I'm so fucking tired of these god damn buffoons "we dont know why shit is shit" yes you do. Its you. Fucking it up. Earth doesnt have to be fucked up, but its packed with power hungry cunts who dont think and make everything worse for everyone, even themselves.
In business, they call it the "Principal Agent Problem" and its a gnarly one. How do you compel people who do not share your specific personal interests to represent those interests faithfully?
Everyone from The Pope to Henry Ford to Xi Jinping has grappled with it. There's no particular good answer, although there are definitely a few ideas that have endured. If you want to get Hegelian, you could say that the contradictions between principals and agents - people with authority to demand and people with the power to labor - are one of the driving forces behind human history. The nations that can resolve the contradiction amicably are ultimately the ones that prosper and endure. While the ones that fumble and fail are doomed to the dustbin of history.
But I also think we're just too damned short-lived to truly grapple with the consequences of our actions. Jefferies is already pushing past his expiration date. Even if he does finally, at long last, get clapped, he won't be around long enough to appreciate it. Easier to be cavalier towards others and heedless of your own fate when you're sprinting towards the void.
