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 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. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted seperately but not to the post body.


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.


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.

7. No duplicate posts.


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.


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.


The auto mod will contact you if a link shortener is detected, please delete your post if they are right.

Well we can't have that, can we? What would trickle down?!

They've trickled on me enough, thanks.

As one of the 1%, bring it on. And to the 99%, get your head out of your god damned ass.

globally I may be one percent but not nationally. If I was though I would feel the same.

I wish i was the 1% (nationally) so i could fund the things we need to support our citizens.
Am broke tho

I would love to be rich but I would rather be the lowest person on the planet while still living a very nice lifestyle. In other words that being the least of us would be a good life. good food, shelter, medical care, education, freedom, safety, the whole basic ball of wax.

That sounds nice.

Depends how you define it, but by some loose definitions I, too, am part of the 1%.

And yes, tax me more and close corporate tax loopholes. I don't care. Eat the rich.

That makes sense since the top 1% control so much money. Go where the money is. It's so simple. "Fiscal conservatives hate this one trick"

I like plans, but prefer action!

And yet my ow truck driver a few months ago was convinced that only Trump can fix the economy. I did not bring up politics, these people are just mentally ill and can't stop talking about this demented, old man.
