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.
So all the people who caused most of the problems are fleeing to New Zealand.
New Zealanders be warned...
yeah i used to like NZ. good luck y'all
I wonder if this is something which really gets a country anything.Those people normally avoid paying taxes, don't integrate themselves into society and for the most part are terrible people.
Yup and push up land prices and usually take advantage of local resources.
It will bring money to rich assholes running various luxury businesses, and might bring up real estate prices which benefits rich assholes who own a lot of land.
They at least pay taxes while buying. And rich people tend to buy a lot of expensive stuff. So better than nothing?
They can affort do pay someone to figure out how to avoid paying even those taxes.
How many homes in New Zealand are worth more than $5,000,000?
NZ$5m is not that high. Auckland’s median house price hit $1m recently, $5m is not a stretch for an expensive inner city or beachside suburb. Queenstown average is $1.6m. Building costs in NZ are very high because most materials need to be imported, and property values keep growing for a complicated mix of reasons - immigration, neoliberal policies, etc.
The billionaires putting me on team Volcano
The average elevation of NZ is nearly 400 meters above sea level. So when the ice all melts and the rest of the world is fucked, the people that caused it will be safe. I know where we should start bombing.
