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.
I mean we re-elected the felon rapist who utterly failed the response to the first round of COVID.
So I hope everyone is ready for everything to shut down again and half the businesses you frequent to permanently close their doors.
Americans are stupid. And we're going to pay the piper for it.
Well that's half the problem -- nothing is going to shut down this time, excess deaths and long-term complications are going bust through the ceiling.
excess deaths and long-term complications are going bust through the ceiling
Nonsense. They won't allow the collection or release of data this time either. We're going to have no idea how bad it is until people all around us are dropping.
Yeah ..... I don't think America will be doing anything until the stacked rows of body bags reaches about four high .... and even then, the decisions they'll make will be to save the economy first than in human lives
dude, they'll just use the bodies to build the wall.
edit - yikes, i just gave myself a chill with that image
edit2 - everybody needs to listen to that pink floyd album again. fucking prophetic
They just started a strong new Return to Office push. Would sure hate to fuck that little plan up.
Y’know, I used to think that we’d blow ourselves up or mostly perish in the coming climate disasters… but at this point I believe we’ll be forced to die at the hands of a rampaging preventable disease.
And not just from COVID, either! The lunatic death-cultists are fucking with everything from pollution controls to food safety inspections to water treatment. Hope you like rivers catching on fire and cholera!
Welcome to the jungle. And I don't mean "fun and games;" I mean Upton goddamn Sinclair.

It's the Four Horsemen. People and nations can handle one, but if they ride together it's going down.
I know it’s not much but get your flu shot this year. You don’t want to fight them at the same time.
INB4 Secretary Brainworms restricts access to that one, too.
