What is global news?

Something that happened or was uncovered recently anywhere in the world. It doesn't have to have global implications. Just has to be informative in some way.


Post guidelines

Title formatPost title should mirror the news source title.
URL formatPost URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.
[Opinion] prefixOpinion (op-ed) articles must use [Opinion] prefix before the title.


Rules

1. English onlyTitle and associated content has to be in English.
2. No social media postsAvoid all social media posts. Try searching for a source that has a written article or transcription on the subject.
3. Respectful communicationAll communication has to be respectful of differing opinions, viewpoints, and experiences.
4. InclusivityEveryone is welcome here regardless of age, body size, visible or invisible disability, ethnicity, sex characteristics, gender identity and expression, education, socio-economic status, nationality, personal appearance, race, caste, color, religion, or sexual identity and orientation.
5. Ad hominem attacksAny kind of personal attacks are expressly forbidden. If you can't argue your position without attacking a person's character, you already lost the argument.
6. Off-topic tangentsStay on topic. Keep it relevant.
7. Instance rules may applyIf something is not covered by community rules, but are against lemmy.zip instance rules, they will be enforced.

Well, of course. The worse the post office performs, the more money DeJoy makes.

But why isn’t Biden doing anything. He apparently chose not to appoint new board members that could have removed Dejoy.

He wanted to appear impartial and so left a lot of Trump appointees in place when they should have been removed.

So he's a fucking idiot

I hope that’s not the reason, I’d prefer he was serving some corporate interests than for our president to be that stupid.

Ah, the classic move of taking the moral high road and allowing an entire nation’s vital services to be destroyed for profit by people with no sense of morality.

Here we go again just like in 2020. Trumps lackey at the post office is out to screw things up.
