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.

Conservative be like: "NOOOO WE CANT 'WASTE MONEY' AND FUND A COUNTRY DEFENDING ITSELF FROM INVASION 😡😡😡"
Also conservatives: "Lets cut social security and give money to israel so they can commit a genocide 😏"
They're also going to gut IRS. So there will be less revenue.
Oh
You think there is less revenue?
🤣
Tariffs and sales tax doesn't need IRS
Tariffs need someone to collect them. And sales tax is very much the IRS. It's not automated just because they itemized your receipt.
Well, they might just bring back the pinkertons for that 👀
Fun fact: Pinkerton is tanned, rested, and ready to go.
do you not know that WE pay the tariff charges? or do you honestly believe that, example, Canada is just like "yeah we dont mind paying the 25% in our exports, we'll just cover that for you"
sorry but no. they will upcharge the export 25% to counter the tariff, then it gets sold to US for 25% more, then on the store shelf WE pay 25% more so cover the "losses"
if you dont think this is how it works. let me ask you a simple question scenario.
you have a lemonade stand. you sell for 1 dollar on the street. suddenly, someone says. hey i own this street. you have to pay me 25 cents to sell here.
do you continue to sell for 1 dollar and lose 25 cents per sale? or do you charge 1.25 to keep making the same profit?
if your answer was "id move to a different street" well then you cant comprehend a question and you are dodging it.
Exactly. We pay the tariffs. They don't need IRS when CBP is in charge of that.
Exactly, you're proving my point. The rich doesn't have to pay when they send their goons to extort you out of your life savings. Ask yourself, when has the rich ever paid their fair share?
This shit will only get worse. People are so naive and think the rich ever pays taxes. Gutting the IRS would only help the rich. As for the poor, they are gonna put 200% sales tax (just as their fascist in chief promised) and if you dont pay, they wouldn't be needing irs, they send private security to your house.
You think fascism is gonna need IRS? fascists don't obey laws, they do what criminal organizations do when they want to collect their "protection fees".
You can't not pay sales tax unless you're a business. You're just expected to pass it along to consumers who can take it or leave it.
Even worse, look at this bullshit: https://www.jpost.com/middle-east/article-844166
also crickets when it comes to israel.
