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.

If Americans wanted Americans to care about the US, including treason against it, they shouldn't have voted to sell it, including its people, off wholesale to the capitalists.
I'd be angry about treason to our nation, if our nation didn't put many to most of us into positions of perpetual subsistence solely to further enrich our oligarch class that legally bribes and captures state and federal government.
This is where celebrated and encouraged core values of greed and sociopathy, oh I'm sorry "rational self-interest" and "rugged individualism" lead. Betrayal on all sides. No society, just people out for themselves, and those with power/capital inflicting their will on everyone else. The bed we've made.
Musk is a symptom of our American greed disease. We celebrate, deify, and wish to emulate our greediest, most sociopathic of fucks, when we should have been throwing rotten produce at them from day 1 as the Mr. Scrooge/Mr. Potter/Gordon Gecko villains and monsters they are and always were. Musk has the gravitas he has from when ya'll were cheering about his stupid wasteful antics like sending a car to space because he had money to burn. This extends to applauding any other billionaire, or reveling in gluttonous lifestyles of the Kardashians on Reality TV while every population center in the country has a homeless tent city.
That's kind of literally what the American Revolution was about, at least in the north.
