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.

Beef gone get cheaper in America??? I could go for a ribeye!
Nah it's not going to get cheaper. Your imports on beef have been higher than the exports.
For some reason your country chose to export a lot of beef while also importing a lot of beef.
Let's see..
https://www.beefmagazine.com/cow-calf-operation/why-does-the-u-s-both-import-and-export-beef-
The article highlights several key points to explain why the U.S. both imports and exports beef:
Market Efficiency: Markets function to maximize the value of products and use resources efficiently. This means producing goods where it is most cost-effective and meeting demand where it is highest.
Supply and Demand Balance: The U.S. imports beef to meet domestic demand for specific types of beef that are not produced in sufficient quantities locally. Conversely, it exports beef to capitalize on international markets where certain U.S. beef products are highly valued.
Consumer Preferences: Different markets have varying preferences for beef types. By engaging in both import and export activities, the U.S. can cater to diverse consumer tastes both domestically and internationally.
Resource Optimization: Importing and exporting allow the U.S. to optimize its production processes. For example, the U.S. might import lean beef for ground beef production while exporting high-quality cuts that fetch better prices abroad.
Global Competitiveness: Participating in global trade helps the U.S. beef industry remain competitive. It ensures that the industry can adapt to changes in supply and demand, maintain market share, and support economic growth.
These factors collectively contribute to a robust and flexible beef industry in the U.S., benefiting both producers and consumers.
This makes sense. There are many many many different types of beef. The beef we don’t value might get cheaper I guess.
Basically, while you're alone. We all have eachother ☺️
Have a great time
