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.
Hook it up backwards so all the shit goes their way.
I have a working theory that billionaires also don't really understand money and numbers.
People don't understand the difference between a million and a billion until they can visaully see the difference. As someone else pointed out, $5 million is 0.5% of their wealth. It's pocket change for a billionaire. However, billionaires are acting like it's going to break the bank.
Or billionaries just love to hoard their wealth to make their imaginary numbers go up.
It's physiological. They don't like other people dictating to them how to do things.
Soend 100 million yo build your own infrastructure of spend 10 million yo use your neighbor's. Of course your going to call your neighbors extortionists, even though you're the billionaire that has all the money and your neighbors just want to be paid for a service.
This is what the new billionaires are: they think everything should be free for them, because everyone gets everything for free, right? It's how they can pay their serfs so little money because they too get everything for free, so everyone is happy, right?
Right?
It really is how the dotcomites and techbros see the world. They built everything for a song (and having the luck to be born with access to the materials to build their empires), so obviously the entire world that's NOT a corporate entity should be handed to them for free.
Just out of curiosity, how hard are those pipes to sabotage?
That'll just pollute the ocean.
remember the story of the liberterians that dint want to pay taxes, and they couldnt afford the public services that wouldve been need to use in order to take out trash, waste managment, etc. they abandoned shortly,. and another one where they were driven out by bears, because they decided to be "self sufficients.
The bears in the New Hampshire debacle is a thing of legend.
They should raise the price for having to deal with this slander.
The Sovereign Individual. Read it. It’s the playbook for these assholes.
