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.

MODERATORS
I remember when they were saying the same thing about Millennials a few years ago.
Yeah, but it has gotten worse.
Especially since Id wager near a majority of those Millennials are still looking for houses too.
I’m looking, but there’s no way I’m paying those prices. I’d rather rent and have the ability to leave my job for another job when I can get more money.
Which is exactly what the investor class wants. Keep generating wealth for the landlords and no generational wealth because houses are too expensive.
Yup. Kill the rich. Cap home prices.
It would have to be a really low cap considering how low wages are now, but I'd be okay with that. I just doubt the U.S. government would allow it to happen.
Nothing is going to get better at this point. I think the rich know they can just do whatever they want, as usual. The power of the middle class is almost gone. The only solution is the mass extinction of billionaires as a message, and I doubt a single one will be removed in my lifetime.
The problem is- and I said this in another thread this morning, so apologies for people who read it there- the billionaires have nuclear war-proof bunkers they can hide in while surrounded by heavily-armed security. There's no way we'll be able to get to them. So I agree with you.
Well, they aren’t sleeping in them. They leave sometime. Let’s use all these guns we have to defend us from the rich. 🤪
The bunkers are designed for them to sleep in until the radiation dissipates at least. They probably could live in them for years.
What I mean is, they leave the house. Also, we can cut them off and I’m perfectly fine with them living in a box with no internet. Solitary confinement is as good as death.
And we're only getting started!
