Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Please also avoid duplicates.

Comments and post content must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

Im cool with the state owning things. Its the oversize marketing budgets and no concern for harm that comes with private ownership that bugs me.

I’ve heard plenty of stories of destitute people burning all their money on state-run scratchers. It’s not a panacea.

Me too, but at least it pays for a school or something vs some rich assholes pocket. I have never seen a better acceptable solution.
