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.

That's definitely where the world is headed. As an American, my stomach drops every time I think about what exports from the United States are going to look like when the quarterly numbers come out. No one wants to buy from us anymore because... Well... We're a bunch of fucking assholes.
The good (or bad, depending on how you look at it) part is that a good chunk of the world thinks Americans are assholes and buys their shit anyway, so while exports to Europe and Canada aren't looking hot places like China or the Middle East aren't going to change their consumption habits over Trump being Trump.
I’m enjoying finally being able to find Canadian goods everywhere.
And it’s all thanks to Trump. I buy very few US goods now. If there’s an alternative, almost any alternative, I take it.
I will buy the Heinz because the ketchup here is horrendous, otherwise there is usually a perfectly suitable alternatives to US goods
If you can get it, Portland Ketchup is very good, and you won't be supporting dipshit multimillionaires.
Too many are helplessly dependent on MS, Apple, Google, Facebook, Amazon, etc.
They can't even imagine freedom from them.
Merz hailed the deal, which was clinched in a ballroom at Trump’s golf resort in Scotland, saying it avoided “needless escalation in transatlantic trade relations” and averted a potentially damaging trade war.
Nothing about this "deal" prevents Trump from being Trump.
EU caved, and that's a massive show of weakness.
donald: I am altering the deal. Pray I do not alter it any further
It's not often that I agree with this man.
I urge my fellow Europeans to have our representatives reject this pathetic proposal.
As an American I also urge you guys to do that.
Impose a tax to companies transferring money into foreign countries. Let's say 4.8% to money transferred to the US. And then let the Tech oligarchs protecting trump feel the loss and then renegotiate.
Germany, Italy, and Ireland are the countries exporting the most to the US. I imagine they are happy. That Ireland is the third, over France, must have something to do with their shameful fiscal paradise thing and tech companies, I guess.
Don't forget that guy is about to revive the yellow vest in a few weeks with his very violent and quasi-aristicratic budget. So he knows about dark days
I keep hearing this 15% tariff from EU to US. What's EUs counter tariff to from US to EU. 15%? 10%? 0%? Wtf.
