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.

U.S. consumer prices increased more than expected in January, reinforcing the Federal Reserve's message that it was in no rush to resume cutting interest rates amid growing uncertainty over the economy.

“More than expected”? This wasn’t just expected, it was planned.

0.5% in January alone

Let’s go MaGA bring us double digit inflation. I believe in you.

[–] GooberEar@lemmy.wtf 7 points 1 year ago

Here's the deal. If Kamala had won, the C-word people would be 100% blaming it on her. If inflation had cooled, the C-word people would have been praising Trump and giving him 100% of the credit. But since Kamala didn't win and inflation is up, it's all Biden's fault according to the C-words.

And truth be told, under NORMAL circumstances, it would be too early to place much blame on the new president. But that's the thing, these aren't normal circumstances and a lot of blame does fall on Trump.

For one, he literally promised that he'd tackle inflation on day one. Now, any reasonable person knew that was a lie, but when a leader makes that kind of statement and fails to deliver, the blame falls on that leader.

But mostly, we knew the circus was coming to town, so reasonable people took steps in preparation for the chaos. These numbers are a reflection that the circus delivered. Even if things ultimate end up getting better, chaos and instability are not good for the average American, and this is a reflection of that.
