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 OCTOBER 19 2025
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.

Divesting makes perfect sense economically. Even if US stocks continue to grow, the USD is going to crash. They're doing it on purpose.
Pension funds must fucking sell their bubblified NVIDIA meme stocks right now.
Buy Bombardier, SAAB, Alstom, Rheinmetall, Siemens Energy, ASML, Airbus, ABB, Skanska.
That's not politics, that's smart fiscal policy. Trumpnis bringing intense geopolitical instability to the dollar.
There is a reason that gold is in the biggest bull run of all time, and has eclipsed the one in the late 1970s sparked by the U.S. abandoning gold backing for the dollar. We're witnessing the demise of the dollar as the world's reserve currency in real time, and central banks have been loading up on gold in preparation for what comes next.
They aren't mutually exclusive.
Logical conclusion.
Get off the US dollar ASAP. If Trump does this, it'll plummet to out of the top 10 currencies. One that happens, since we don't make anything the rest of the world needs/wants. The US will become a third world country over night.
Does US treasuries mean bonds? If so, this could be a real issue for the American economy if they get downgraded.
Does US treasuries mean bonds?
According to FT European continents holds ca. US$ 12.6 tn in assets, including European Nato countries that own $2.8 tn Treasury bonds.
Hell yeah. I'm hoping we see more of this
