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.

There's been a lot of shit going on lately
A guy charged the white house with a shotty, another guy drove from East Coast to Vegas to attack their power grid again...
Usually Kash would do a huge press conference for all of these, but they're happening so fast and there's so much else going on no one can talk about everything. And by the time they start talking about how bad it is, it's going to blindsided everyone.
People without shit to lose, tend to act like it.

There’s a reason all the billionaires in the US are building bunkers.
Bunkers just prove yet again the short term mindset of the wealthy. they're useless. They hold off death for a brief period of time. Eventually though you need to leave said bunker of which we kill you on exit OR you go the hitler route.
These idiots honestly believe if they throw themselves in one we're not just going to camp the outside?
Also, bunkers need to have airflow...
Or air scrubbers if you recirculate. But those are consumable and need to be replaced once they're used up.
Bunkers only are useful if there is friendly territory behind them.
If you can't call the police or your local warlord it's a prison in the best case and an expensive tomb in the worst case.
Or the third possibility: killed by their own staff/security.
I say we seal them in their stupid bunkers, take their money, and repair our democracy.
Marie Antoinette thought she was safe too.
They all do.
If they really didn't, they'd hand back some of the wealth/power to appease us. Which is why when/if they get to that point, we take what they offer and use that to fight for more.
You joking? We're not gonna make deals with them. They can't be trusted. We are just gonna take all their shit and either kill them or put them in a re-education camp.
If they say:
As an attempt to appease the masses, I'm saying the sane response is to take their money, get healthcare with it, then immediate go back to demanding more of our shit back from them.
I almost added this to my first comment, and it looks like I should have left it:
We need to be like the unhoused population of South Park when pushing for these thing.

No matter what they agree to give back, accept it, and without blinking or hesitation ask for more.
Does it make sense now?
I don't agree. I think small reforms will rob us of our energy. We need to end this shit, hard and fast, for the benefit of future generations. We need to take bold, decisive action. Small gifts from the ruling class will just make us complacent. We need to take them down hard and ensure they never ever get back up.
