Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Remember back in the 90s when the message was that overpopulation will starve us all and now that the birth rate is declining in response to environmental and economic stress that's an equally huge crisis

What a cool, stable economic system

Shhh if we talk about it too loudly the stockmen will get skittish and might balk, causing an economic downturn because they reacted to the possibility of one by dialing up the rat fucking in anticipation, heightening tensions and contradictions, and invariably causing a hiccup with a plethora of aftershocks.

It’s in the rulebook

Really cool how the porks are never ever at fault for anything despite literally being the authority.

“Aww sorry kiddo, no job for you! I scare easy and growing jobs numbers might make the money sad! Too risky!”

At the very least, these lazy ceos should be fired for gross incompetence. They failed to put the masses to work and should be fired for their incompetence.
