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 think the double whammy of RAM and oil shortages are almost certain to exacerbate inflation. Digital goods are going to get more expensive because of RAM, and physical goods that need to be shipped from place to place are going to get more expensive due to oil.

Another pointless and endless war costing the world untold amounts of blood and money, all for nothing.

all for the shareholder value.

Those shareholders are going to buy the dip and increase their percentage of share ownership.

Don't forget there's also the across the board tariffs that are still in place.

[–] Ironfist79@lemmy.world 22 points 19 hours ago

Illegal tariffs that are for some reason still being collected.

I mean it’s not for nothing. It’s to enrich the rich. 🤗

The Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism is a 2007 book by Canadian author and social activist Naomi Klein. In the book, Klein argues that neoliberal economic policies promoted by Milton Friedman and the Chicago school of economics have risen to global prominence because of a deliberate strategy she calls "disaster capitalism". In this strategy, political actors exploit the chaos of natural disasters, wars, and other crises to push through unpopular policies such as deregulation and privatization. This economic " shock therapy" favors corporate interests while disadvantaging and disenfranchising citizens when they are too distracted and overwhelmed to respond or resist effectively.

I camnot believe Biden left such a mess for Trump to have to clean up. Man its gonna take at least 2 more terms for things to turn around.

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 1 points 10 hours ago

It's one thing to see the grinning sycophants in the admin saying it, it's really wild when you see someone parroting this in person at the ground level.

You expect that stupid shit-eating grin on the likes of Kevin Hasset the smirking chipmunk or when Mikey Johnson is gaslighting all of America, but when you see someone repeat this IRL it really is something: "But Turnip has to dig out from under Biden's terrible economy...."

I've asked a few of these people IRL exactly what was so bad about Biden's economy toward the end of 2024? I still haven't gotten an answer that was anywhere near to cogent...

It's not for nothing. We get distracted from the Epstein-Trump files and whatever unnamed demon is pulling the strings gets a blood sacrifice of a few hundred school children.

[–] kautau@lemmy.world 1 points 17 hours ago

Plus, it’s almost certain that this was Mossad cashing in their Epstein chips at the right moment so they could fire their huge strike but also pull the us alongside like “they did it too”

How dare you say it's for nothing!?

What abou, the week or so of relief from talking about his child-rapist activities that gets the pedofile in chief?

Inflation is also just intentionally caused by tech oligarchs like amazon and rental market monopolists raising prices on everything because they can. So it's bound to go up because bezos doesn't have enough money.
