A lightweight news hub to help decentralize the fediverse load: mirror and discuss headlines here so the giant instance communities aren’t a single choke-point.

Rules:

  1. Recent news articles only (past 30 days)
  2. Title must match the headline or neutrally describe the content
  3. Avoid duplicates & spam (search before posting; batch minor updates).
  4. Be civil; no hate or personal attacks.
  5. No link shorteners
  6. No entire article in the post body

I will say this: in the US at least, people work for health care coverage - that's often garbage but good luck affording even shitty coverage without being beholden to your employer. They stay employed to avoid homelessness.

The ones setting policy like it that way, it makes it far easier to own people and get them to follow instructions they know are immoral.
