Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. 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. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

I took one for the team and went to Fox News to read the user comments on the first story I could find about this. It's pretty telling that even there, the overwhelming sense I got -- in between the "Obamacare is why healthcare is so bad!" and the "where's Hunter's cocaine, Mister FBI?" and the "our so-called nation is secretly run by acolytes of a shady transnational world government" -- is that they don't understand why this is getting any more attention than any other random street crime in the big bad city.
Even MAGA doesn't care; wrong kind of billionaire, I guess.
The MAGA public doesn't like billionaires in general, they just like Trump and Musk. That's it. It's a cult of personality, not anything based on actual values or policies.
Obviously MAGA is funded by them in the background, but the average MAGAt doesn't know that or care.
No you see regulation is bad, because government.
Which is a sentiment I could almost agree with if regulation wasn't actually a tool in the arsenal for the working man and the community
We all agree these problems exist but MAGA has been propagandized such that they are so ass backwards that they end up pushing the wrong way
They only like things that may possibly be an advantage to them. Unless they are currently in a health care dispute with UHC, They honestly don't give a rat's ass what happens to anyone at that company.
Yep. Their list of billionaires they hate has different ones at the top of the list but they hate billionaires, too. I had folks in MAGA hats tell me they liked Bernie for that reason alone.
