World News
A community for discussing events around the World
Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
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.

No they don't.
Not when their current president campaigned loudly about how high egg prices were all Joe Biden's fault, and that when elected, Trump would bring down prices immediately.
Now prices are far higher, coupled with shortages, with no Imediate anything.
People need to do the opposite of chill tf out.
I meant stop buying more eggs than they were before. People are panic buying eggs. Just stop paying high prices for everything, that's why prices are high.
You can absolutely cling to DARVO-style explanations for Trump's fuckups if you want. You can even cut back on eggs a bit, and do your part.
It's econ 101. Demand should go down if prices go up, but people are fucking dumb and just accept higher prices. I'm seeing signs at the grocery store that say "limit 3 cartons." People are absolutely panic buying more eggs than they need. Just like ps5s there was a "shortage" due to scalping, but people were buying them from scalpers because fomo. The same people elected DT, you reap what you sow.
It's DARVO 101.
I bet you think the president personally calls every gas station to set the prices. There's literally nothing he can do about egg prices, he lied if you can actually beleive it. Consumers are responsible for the prices they pay. If the store is gouging you and you still buy it, then you have no right to complain.
He sure boasted like he would.
Also didn't mind stating that the high prices (at the time) were caused by Joe Biden.
What ya got next, DARVO Vader?
If you want to take advice from Donald fucking Trump, then be my guest.
If you want to imagine you're contributing in a meaningful way, go ahead.
On the other hand, your Main Character Syndrome will stop you from considering that ya got nothing important to say.

150 million chickens have been killed. How do they keep up with support if the demand stays the same?
You're also not just paying for lower demand, but they offload the cost of the dead chicken to us.
If people were rational, then they would use a substitute or reduce their consumption. Demand goes down, then price goes down. Egg prices affect baked goods as well, so when people are paying high prices they are shooting themselves in the foot.
