"Hey, you and me are gonna be in charge of the lighting and I got an idea. I have a friend with a hook up to a really awesome lightning system that's less than half of price of our lighting budget. So - we do two things. One, we rent it. Two, we tell the organizing committee three times as good. We juice the budget times 3. The result? We profit. We take home 80% of the pot."

"I don't think your math is right."

"I hate math but I love money. And you love money, too - right? The important thing is that it's money."

"Sounds risky. And couldn't we get in trouble?"

"How? I made 3.7 million US on ShittyApe and I never actually learned any of this shit. I just made a website, wrote up some shit, created fake numbers and waited to collect."

"What do you know about lighting?"

"Nothing. But you plug it in and it works. What's to know?"

"Couldn't something go wrong?"

Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
