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 remember last week when Trump tried speaking into existence making it illegal to even (metaphorically) shit on Teslas?
Nope! We're in late stage capitalism now where the game is a race to see which mega-corp can merger and acquisition itself into being the only company in existence where they'll be free to squeeze every last cent out of their ~~customers~~ slaves.
Now that they've got their puppets into place in all the government offices that could actually prevent us descending into the plot of every cyberpunk dystopian story ever written, they're going to milk it for everything it's worth, and the room temperature IQ morons that voted them into power will cheer their enslavement every step of the way because Reagan convinced them all that government regulations are the real problem.
Poppi is kind of gross and the prebiotics in them do jack shit.
What is the flavour of them? You don't see them on shelves here, my partner grabbed rootbeer a while back and it was foul, like overwhelming chicory flavour I think?
Cove does this type of stuff that actually tastes decent if you want an occasional soft drink, they do kombucha too, there's stevia sweetened brands too out there.
Who buys Pepsi products anyways?
People pushing back against coke due to how cozy they are with current US administration
Screw both of those companies!
These corpos can keep playing tongo all they want but I'll just stick to my flouridated dihydrogen monoxide.
Who the fuck is signing off on the braindead mergers!
