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.

Needs more crayon and grunts
Already ate crayons when food ran low. Too tired from work for unnecessary grunts.
I'm not lucky enough to have a paycheck anymore since Trump and Musk laid me off.
Wtf is this headline
What do you expect from McNews?
Cost of living rising but wages don't match
Why? That's easy! Too much avocado toast!
Capitalism. There. Saved you a click.
It's the economy, stupid!
"That's very much a wage story," Wadford said. "Since the beginning of the year, wages for lower-income households have continued to fall...while inflation continues to remain stubbornly high." In 2025, 29% of lower-income households live paycheck to paycheck, up from 28.6% in 2023 and 27.1% in 2023.
inflation
Corporate greed.
remains stubbornly high
It was starting to go down under biden, but they wanted their little trade war.
Why? It's a goddamn mystery.
Like, not every grim headline makes me laugh out loud. Well done, satirical newspaper ‘usa today’.
Cost of living goes 📈 while the average salary goes 📉 in relative spending power.
It's capitalism. Not this president or that president. Unbound capitalism coupled with greed equals war against the masses (poor). It's been going on for a long time now. See pre-French revolution and even further back. It's a bit louder under trump because he is brazen about it.
That same article would have been blaming Biden if he was President. Trump seems to never get any blame directly in the media…
Dumb poors again
