Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
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.

The tariffs purpose is to damage Canada's economy in a severely misguided and ignorant plan to annex it.
He saw how the lagging economy ruined Trudeau's approval ratings and thinks that damaging the economy more will somehow magically make Canadians want to join the US.
As a single state no less.
Every part of the whole "51st state" plan is insane, but to admit Canada as one single unit is absolutely fucking bonkers. It's literally bigger in square miles/km than the United States. It would need to be at a minimum 10 states (one per province) but would probably benefit conservatives if they split up some of the more conservative provinces into more states.
I wonder how Puerto Rico feels having Canada be referred to as a state before them.
I have agreed that Mexico will not be required to pay Tariffs on anything that falls under the USMCA Agreement
Um, not sure they were going to pay anything anyway...
Indeed, that's not how tariffs work. smh.
I know this is just bullshit his supporters will believe, but I'm starting to wonder if he's actually in on the con, or just a demented old man being manipulated.
It also occurred to me when he called Ukraine peace talks "doing business".
It's on the tap, right under the wall.
Congratulations to Mexico for stopping fentanyl and illegal immigration faster than Canada did?
God at this point you're such a fucken bitch about it. Either shit or get off the fucken pot.
He's already shat in the water.
Diaper. He shat in his diaper.
He and his circle already made millions on puts and invested the winnings back into a dipping market, now it's time to ease off the gas to drive the value back up. Repeat every week or two.
Capitalism’s greatest enemy finally unmasked!

CAPITALISM
Who would have thought?
This HAS to be the only reason.
The Trump Tariff Dump & Pump. How long can he keep this up before countries stop reacting?
Seems a great idea until the day when is stops working.
According to an email from CSCB as of 1530 Eastern time, he's pausing tariffs on anything CUSMA eligible for Canada and Mexico until April 2nd.
Until next month right?
What happened to, "no time for delay."
The actual US president discovered one of his companies needs parts from Mexico.
Note that these are emergency powers he's using. Supposedly this is a crisis.
This man has a brilliant mind. Our glorious leader knows all and will lead us to massive inflation and failure of all markets.
Arty Deal.
What are the chances this has to do with Tesla parts being manufactured in Mexico?
The auto industry already had a 30-day exemption from tariffs.
Thank you for letting me know to look into that. My head is spinning so much with everything going on that I didn't know about or even consider such a thing.
idk, Trump doesn't seem to give two shits about TSLA. The whole presidency doesn't seem to have been a great deal for Musk at all (assuming he's not eating out of the treasury or something). xAI doesn't get AI endorsement and oil industry takes priority over Tesla at every turn.
This uncertainty and flip-flopping is bad for business no matter how you slice it.
Well he has a track record of bad business. Unsurprising.
It's good for those who profit from manipulating markets though.
I get that but I still doubt there is some sort of plan coming out of this mans ass or that he is just senile.
between the two leaders.
I'm sorry, I only counted one.
Pussy.
He’s like the shitty ai that plays Genghis Khan in Civilization.
