2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.


Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion. We have an actively updated blocklist, which you can see here: https://lemmy.world/post/2246130 if you feel like any website is missing, contact the mods.

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.


Posts which titles don’t match the source won’t be removed, but the autoMod will notify you, and if your title misrepresents the original article, the post will be deleted. If the site changed their headline, the bot might still contact you, just ignore it, we won’t delete your post.


5. Only recent news is allowed.


Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.


6. All posts must be news articles.

If a source you used was already posted by someone else, the autoMod will leave a message. Please remove your post if the autoMod is correct. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.

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.

I'm not at all shocked. At my company my coworker i rationing his medication. I'm concerned he could die at any time due to this. We as a team mentioned this to work and HR's answer was they sent a provider listing.

Bruh. That is literally a scenario I'd expect to see laid out in an email message in Cyberpunk 2077. Or the background for a Cyberpsycho story.

How fucking dystopian.

Any chance s/he could contact the manufacturer? Some of them have programs outside of insurance to make critical medicines affordable.

I can mention that at work to them. Thanks for that

Wow. You should report HR to HR. Also get a new job. That's like a rich city council person, who has full ability to help in many ways, giving a homeless person a magazine with real estate listings.

Out of our department of 7; I found out during an interview that 5 of us applied for the same position at a competitor.

Every price has gone up. Salaries haven’t. So… yeah.

Exactly. A more accurate headline would be "Americans are Falling Behind on their Income."
