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.

"Richest man in the world to starve dogs so he can have more money."
I wish they'd be more frank. They just want more. The same class that tells us to make our own toilet paper and stop getting that morning coffee, are now digging into the pockets of dogs just for a few more coins to rub together. They'll kill us all for what amounts to pocket change for them. How much better this time line would be if he just ceases to exist.
Its not even saving anyone money, either, which is the empty pretense they're doing all this under
Last month was more expensive by a significant margin than the same month last year.
I keep waiting to find out where the line is that gets people to actually take to the streets. The bar keeps getting lower as people make more excuses to continue doing nothing.
Its always hard to predict the tipping point. When the Berlin Wall came down, it surprised literally every intelligence agency in the world. Everyone knew the Berlin Wall would fall someday, but nobody had a clue when, how, or why. And NOBODY knew it was that close.
Then one day, it just happened. Someone tried to get through the wall, and a guard just simply refused to stop him, and the floodgates opened. Within minutes, people were smashing the wall with sledgehammers, and within hours the guards were gone, and the citizens were crawling all over it, knocking down sections.
All we can do is prepare and maintain readiness. One day it will tough off somewhere, and it will spread fast. Have a plan, and remain alert.
That doesn't happen in North America
