World News
A community for discussing events around the World
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.

And who will be working those farms? But I’m sure somebody in the administration figured a way to short a stock involving it, somehow
Jesus Christ this is the absolute dumbest time line....ice... ice did this
No, Trump did this. ICE is his tool to do this, but make no mistake, Trump is to blame.
America is to blame. Trump is simply a symptom of America's collective sickness.
The U.S. has been manipulated into this hellhole situation just like those raped thirteen year old girls - promises of nice things and candy.
Well yes and his little impotent chudd Miller
My old highschool now has the option for kids to opt out of PE instead you hop on the school bus and your 4 hour block is instead done on a local farm helping out.
So children mostly I would assume.
Its not a bad thing to allow highschool kids to experience real working conditions. Americans also need to see for themselves that working on a farm isn't the horrible torture everyone acts like it is.
The work isn’t the horrible torture, it’s the non-livable wages.
Then the question is how do we get livable wages to whoever is working on farms.
I can think of one way
Nitpick: this would be shorting a future, not a stock.
Futures are typically “physical” goods like oil, bananas, cheese, maple syrup, etc. there are also other types of futures.
These commodities futures were originally created in the 1600s in Japan for rice, but they got their mass appeal in Chicago in the late 1800s.
The trading floors in Chicago are pretty cool and have a ton of interesting history.
Thanks for the clarification. I figured there was something you could bet against, but forgot about futures. Appreciate it!
what's it called when you're shorting your children's futures
