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.

under Biden: inflation 2.9%, unemployment 4.1%

Americans are NAZIs. And it is not Biden's fault.

My rent doubled in the 4 years he was president every utility has shot up, food has doubled in price wages have only gone up 10% buying a house is a pipe dream, according to my bank account inflation at 2.9% is a lie

Someone doesn't understand how inflation rates work...

[–] Trilobite@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Someone who does not understand 2.9% means nothing when everything has already doubled in price and wages have hardly moved

Someone doesn't understand how inflation rates change over time.

Someone doesn't understand that wages increase.

[–] Trilobite@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Someone who does not understand inflation outpaced wages so much that a low inflation rate now does nothing

Someone is either lying or incredibly misinformed...either way, embarrassingly incorrect

If someone doesn't believe that, someone could just look at all the spending people keep doing

Some are also just plain stupid... the inflation rate increasd in those 4 years and that's obviously Biden's fault because nothing outside of the US exists that could have any influence.

They get credit for the good stuff beyond their control too.

Biden's team are the worst marketers ever.

Biden to his team: "Should we do a big marketing blitz to let everyone know what we achieved with infrastructure? Guys? Anyone?"

Americans: "Biden has never accomplished anything in his entire life and Trump will save the country."

Not just Biden team, Democrats in general are horrible at communicating
