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.
-
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 OCTOBER 19 2025
-
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.

If my finger-counting math is right ye yanks, on average (including children), are paying ~$250 a month just in interests... I ain't no economist but that seems like a lot.
Gets worse when you realize it’s mostly the middle class paying it
There's no such a thing as 'middle class'. The working class is paying all of it.
Fair.
It's not fair. It's reality and exactly by design. It's always been a class war and rich people have been winning for a very long time.
I meant them correcting me saying “middle class” is fair
Breathe.
Reality doesn't breathe.
Chill.
They have no chill. 🫣🤷🏽♂️
Is that a you, Mario?
If we get some crazy inflation that won't be more than the price of a cup of coffee.
Let's go for coffee I'm buying
Hahaha oh god...
It's actually worse than this if you just consider the number of working adults.
Which is about 165 million.
Which means every working adult is paying ~$500/m just on the interest.
Which.... Isn't working, at all, the US is cooked.
The only good jews is the working class has already been squeezed really hard. We can't support that debt. The wealthy are going to have to start chipping in
I know in being optimistic here, but it's possible for another FDR-type era
The only good WHAT?
Its less when you realize that the debt is mostly held by American investors.
Makes me feel so much better knowing my hard-earned money is going to wealthy Americans /s
The working class is who pays disproportionately high taxes. The wealthy are the ones holding large numbers of bonds
