A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! 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.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

yup.
due to imperialism and our own comprador capitalists, our crops are meant for export and profit first, food second.
with the tariffs they are forced to sell it to us. and they are forced to price it in reais, not dollars.
trump is throwing even our loyal (to them) burgeoise under the bus and i don't think he even gave it a thought.
it's simply delicious.
Brazilian here.
A year ago, the prices of food were through the roof, public opinion was against Lula and there were protests because of it all.
Now?
The far right is sinking faster than the Bismark, Lula is in a good position to be reelected without a run-off election and prices are going down again (we even had a bit of deflation in August).
A lot of this has to do with The Orange Pustule's reaction to the conviction of his criminal friend Boslonaro. In the end, Drumpf is the best campaign manager Lula could hope for.
This makes me happy that even though the country i live in is really shitting the bed right now, our shitting is having SOME positive outcome for others in the global community.
Fuck Drumpf.
I'd love for some more direct trade from us here in Canada to the other countries in the Americas, specially coffee!
Mercosur-EFTA-CA-SEA global free trade regime let's go
Works for me
can confirm. the nationalistic anti-tax push lula had to go into publicly in recent weeks shot his popularity up.
the fascists are grasping at straws. thanks for weakening brazilian fascism!
nice, he's successfully lowered food prices!
I wonder how much America needs to dismantle itself and plunge its people into hell to make up for its share of the net evil caused from the end of WWII...?
("net evil" because there's some good and bad, and "share" because a lot of other countries participated...)
Let's go! Make Latin America Great Again!
Honestly, I think, if handled right, the fall of the U.S could be a huge boon to central and south america. That is of course as long as the flailing empire doesn't decide on invading.
the turd-for-brains never said where he'd lower grocery prices.
But it is good. That part.
I feel like I'll still see you all later at the gas chamber. I'll be the guy scratching the paint desperately as my charred left leg drags behind my hops.
Promises kept! Trump 2028
TRUMP WAS RIGHT ABOUT EVERYTHING
I’m in Canada and I’m hoping for more direct trade that excludes that US, there was the whole “buy Canadian” movement and I dig it, but it should be “don’t buy American” i don’t have a problem buying European or South American goods. Hopefully that would lower prices on non American items.
The tariffs have lifted on our end and American products have dropped back in price, but im still going to avoid them.
I was under the impression that the lower prices were going to be for Americans. I guess he technically kept his promise.
Make America Great Again didn't really say which part.
Amazing. I need this in a meme format.
Food prices are going down in México?
Where? There was a small (very small) fall in prices in the last month but shit's going up again and just seems it will get worse... Fast.
Hopefully, with the excess food they can't trade to other countries we'll get a food discount in America. 🤣🤣🤣
I know capitalism is all about greed and they'll find a way to make money rather than give it us.
Yay cow corn and feed grade soybeans!
They'll burn it. Grapes of Wrath
