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

Good. Get punished. Don't go along with it. If you start bowing and scraping so you won't get ejected from the oval office, then that will enable that much more the gradual evolution that will lead you along with many other people to get "punished" in ways that are far more severe. Like, barges floating off of Gitmo or working in the fields on a prison labor system severe. It is insane to me that people are taking all of this so lightly and going along with it.
Even from the ideal pro-capitalist hat on; AP benefits from this. It might seem that short term they lose money by not having hot off the press news to sell, but long term they keep their credibility, which is ultimately the product they sell.
Anyone else finding their middle aged progressive values aligning with GDP more than ever?
