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.

The amount of deaths they're responsible for has got to be plague like

Can you explain?

Edit: What dipshits downvote questions? A simple explanation would suffice.

Consider the insanely high markup they have for just their insulin in the US. All the stories you may have heard of diabetics having to ration their insulin supplies and still dying alone is horrifying. Now imagine that for every other medicine they make.

Makes total sense. I wasn't thinking of that, because I don't live in a shithole country that actively practices medical extortion.

Be grateful you don't. A lot of us here wish things would be better but we're strangled by bought-off politicians. It can happen to your utopian country too if your people aren't careful.

[–] Proprietary_Blend@lemmy.world -4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

That's why they downvote your question. You're a troll

[–] Thedogdrinkscoffee@lemmy.ca 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I'm sorry. Do you live in that shithole? Are you being medically extorted? Did I hurt your feelings?

[–] HerrBeter@lemmy.world -1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Why so unnecessarily aggressive? These aren't the droids you're looking for

[–] Thedogdrinkscoffee@lemmy.ca 0 points 4 months ago

Just because I live under a bridge doesn't mean I'm a troll.

[–] JandroDelSol@lemmy.world 6 points 4 months ago

Any profit a health company makes is off the backs of suffering.

[–] JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 5 points 4 months ago

Nah most the patient deaths are because they couldn't afford the medication. Clearly that couldn't be the fault of the trillion dollar company, right?
