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.

Ah yes. Nothing says man for the people like an international bank leader.
He was Governor of the Bank of Canada and Governor of the Bank of England. Those set policy in a global level and is very far from stock traders as you imply.
Maybe it's time we let people who know how to handle an economy run countries? It's not like the alternatives have been that great so far.
Jesus fuck thank you.
I don’t want an administrator or mechanic removing my appendix.
I hate that he’s the best option now and I am actively working to dismantle and replace orphan crushing capitalism, but at least he has a resume that is worth hiring for the job. Singh just hasn’t been very effective.
I would never let toddlers near my oscillating saw nor Poilievre near the Bill of Rights. Everyone who knows Skippy hates Skippy.
Singh is pretty good as opposition. "Pharmacare coverage for diabetes meds and birth control, or I will vote no confidence." was a small win.
Yes, glad for the minority cooperation and coercion. Don’t think they could pull off a winning election though.
He'll handle the economy in favor of the rich.
The real weird part is he quit Brookfield's ESG department to be the PM, and one of his only policies announced so far is to replace the carbon tax with a foreign emitters tariff style tax, and to allow them to buy carbon credits from company like Brookfield.
Which is known to be no more than greenwashing, as we are still the only county in the G7 without high speed rail, and he also supports mass immigration from low emitting country. Then there was talk of letting Brookfield manage Canadian pension system, its all very fishy.
We need a better economy and a way to fix things with Trump. This is a prime minister for at least until the elections in October 2025, could end before
I am not interested in appeasing Trump as you suggest It’s time to isolate and neutralize the US because they are unreliable and a danger to the world.
Why do we have to fix anything with Trump? The dumb cunt has blacklisted Switzerland as having "unfair trade", and has alienated Mexico, China and Canada ... and that's happened in less than 7 weeks!
Within 4 months he's gonna have a shit ton of nations solidly against him, and the embargos will start happening.
Fuck him and everyone who supports him. They can rot in hell.
"Fix things with Trump" can mean anything including back the American people in overthrowing him.
