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.
-
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.

Someone who thought that a country with a very low level of debt should not invest money in a time where you actually got money back for taking a credit
Their "debts are evil" stance for 15 years are extremely stupid - even more than the crippling of the roadblocks they put up for renewable
And now people are putting the blame on the current government that had to sweep out all the dust...
I’m not a huge fan of Merkel either, but it’s nuts to think that success in 2018 was because of Schröders policies and not hers (if you want to say that they’re due to the chancellor at all, which I’m not sure I do).
not only - but Germany having one of the biggest low-income-workforces in Europe because of Schröder was still helping her a lot.
I mean yeah, the previous administration will always have an effect, and she got a good opening hand. It just feels incredibly political to say that it’s from Schröder, without any other attribution, and the paper doesn’t touch on that at all.
Especially in the context of Germany being the envy of the world- a lot of that was due to her leadership during the Great Recession.
Its actually the result from the Agenda 2020. Economic policies take sometimes years to get results. Merkel didn't hurt the economy in the short term though, but you you get the results now: crumbled infrastructure and dependence on Russia and China.
