The wealthy need that money WON'T SOMEBODY THINK OF THE WEALTHY 🙏😭
Remember, any time you see people talking about "the economy", just replace that with "rich people's yacht money" and things will start making more sense.
well, can't say he's not following up on his election promises
Except for the lowering grocery prices thing.
Eggs in my area have already gone up like $1/dozen in the last week.
I have been specifically thinking about getting a bunch of those printed and slapping them on egg price tags at grocery stores. Glad I'm not the only one.
Same and I saw musk Tesla logo with a swastica which I can't find now, I'd love to get a bunch printed & start sticking them around town.
sure, but who cares about that? ^/s^
Project 2025 baby! 😭 Please let me off this train.
They want a pandemic. All of the things they have done so far regarding public health can only be explained that way as far as I can tell.
Pandemics means market drops and supply chain interruptions, which destroys a bunch of value, which means the currently-wealthy can buy up the rest of the world at fire sale prices and price gouge for what's left.
Ten richest men in the world doubled their wealth to 1.5tn during covid. They want to repeat that. Millions dead is a minor side effect they don't care about.
Wasn't/Isn't reducing world population a big deal for the rich as well? They want just the right amount of "people" to keep their luxurious lifestyles going.
None of their lifestyles will survive climate change but the jokes on us first.
Also this:
Now I see what MAGA stands for. Make America (a) Great Asshole.
Make America Geriatric Autocracy
Why does my gut feeling tell me this is breaking some international laws? Not that anything will be done, just saying this reeks of illegal.
It's straight up genocide.
"International Law" is much different thing from normal law. There is no real enforcement mechanism, so it's very much a case of "might makes right". In this particular case, it sounds like Trump pulled funding, which is not the same as shutting it down, even if the effect on the refugees is the same.
So it's concentration camps. They'll soon make them work themselves to death.
No, these camps are outside the USA. The concentration camps are domestic.
A very Donald Trump thing to do.
Now hold my beer for a sec, but isn't the IRC a NGO?
A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
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.
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.
