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.

Many companies, including the big-box warehouse chain Costco, have already lined up in court to demand refunds.

“Where is the money, Lebowski?”

[–] floofloof@lemmy.ca 9 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

I don't suppose the big companies' small customers will see any of those refunds?

[–] SpikesOtherDog@ani.social 6 points 2 weeks ago

Sure. They'll reduce prices, too.

[–] IamSparticles@lemmy.zip 4 points 2 weeks ago

That probably depends on the company. Costco famously makes almost all of their operating profit on membership fees. Their margins on sales are razor thin, and in several notable cases (rotisserie chickens, hot dogs, etc) they actually sell at a loss because they refuse to raise prices in response to market conditions.

SC saves trump from himself. Stimulus as money gets out back, prices lower, he declares victory

It'll be interesting to see if he's dumb enough to apply different tariffs out of petulance

This is the asshole that sat there and told the media that he had to put extra tariffs on Switzerland because he didn't like the way they talked to him.

So because he, personally, got his panties in a twist over how a person talked to him, he was willing to sign up all of US to pay extra for products from that country.

So yeah, I think he's exactly the sort of fragile little snowflake to try it again.

i believe the only path for tariffs now involves congress (as it should), and i doubt congress wants to do this song and dance again, these companies that were affected are big donors afterall.

Fuck off Supreme Court. I have it on good authority that The President is immune to any legal action for any presidential acts.

[–] ski11erboi@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Damn. Downvoted for quoting the supreme court??

He's spamming this identical comment to every thread he can find.
